 Douglas, Stephen Arnold. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
In the Senate, Douglas was made chairman of the Committee on Territories, an all-important post in the next decade because of the growing battle over the issue of slavery in the territories.
For the Compromise of 1850, Douglas drafted the bills instituting territorial government in New Mexico and Utah, whose citizens were left free to act for themselves on all subjects of legislation (including slavery) not inconsistent with the Constitution.
Although Douglas led on all 57 ballots taken there for the presidential nomination he was unable to muster the necessary two-thirds of the vote, and the convention adjourned.

Blackwell described mythology as the literally believed "Allegorical Religion" (Mythology and the Romantic Tradition 45), the "first religion and philosophy of man," while scholars "sought in myth the key to a primordial unity in the religious experience and imagination of the human race" (Pagan Myth 36).
The myth of Hellenism and Hellenic mythology were both familiar echoes of original human creativity and, as Harding argues, defamiliarized traces of a half-silent, half-speaking past (The Reception of Myth 15).

For George, the asteroids are a key part of a feminist astrology that incorporates a great many insights from Greek and Roman mythology.
While the mythic dimension was often valuable, I sometimes felt that the asteroids had trouble standing on their own as symbols--ideally, the asteroid Ceres should be as independent of the goddess Ceres as the planet Neptune is from the god.
