 William James
James discusses the experiments that his contemporaries Wundt, Stumpf and Fechner were performing in their laboratories, which led them to results such as that "sounds are less delicately discriminated in intensity than lights" (PP 513).
James maintains that this thought is a natural human response to the universe, independent of any proof that God exists, and he predicts that God will be the "centre of gravity of all attempts to solve the riddle of life" (WB, 116).
James sets out a central distinction of the book in early chapters on "The Religion of Healthy-Mindedness" and "The Sick Soul." The healthy-minded religious person — Walt Whitman is one of James's main examples — has a deep sense of "the goodness of life," (79) and a soul of "sky-blue tint" (80).

Political posturing aside, though, James and his ilk used the booty to line their own pockets and if James mirrored the bigger picture of a society that pushed him into a life of crime, he also embraced that life without remorse.
James was very much a political man, a frequent writer of letters to newspapers, and a diehard Confederate in a state more bitterly divided over the war than perhaps any other.
James had a powerful ally and publicist in newspaper editor John Newman, an unapologetic champion of the Lost Cause who glamorized him as a friend and protector of the common man in the face of greedy carpetbaggers.

 Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War by T.J. Stiles - Salon.com, 10/15/02
Jesse James eschews the usual trappings of the outlaw-buff variety; there are no tedious and irrelevant genealogical trees, no reliance on "Uncle Ned"-style history (as in "My Uncle Ned knew the real story..."), and no irritating insistence on reinterpreting the entire saga in the light of new information that's unavailable to the public.
Edwards, who saw James as a symbol of the Southern ideals that he still hoped to impose on post-Civil War Missouri, gave Jesse, in essence, a platform from which to justify his robberies as an extension of Confederate policies.
James was the first American criminal to be obsessed with his own public image, the first "who sought to push himself into the news...

You can't make that charge against "At Last: A Tribute to Etta James," which is far from being my favorite of the Taylor revues, but certainly offers something a little different from the usual BET style.
James, who took her gospel roots and fused them with rock music later in her career, has an especially eclectic songbook, ranging from her signature hit "At Last" through heart-wrenching ballads to harder-edged fare — much of which was first recorded by men.
James' fusion numbers — owing much to gospel, rock, blues, jazz and even country — here are rendered with diverse but consistently appealing arrangements, specially created by pianist Thomas Washington.

As Stiles points out, when James was killed on April 3, 1882, he was probably as famous as the president of the United States.
Stiles' interpretation of James' life and legend isn't revisionist; in many ways it's an old-fashioned biography that treats its subject with more reverence than the countless tomes written by Jesse's apologists.
James was born in 1847, in what Stiles correctly calls "the most hotly ideological era in American history" and in the border state destined to be the site of the most vicious internecine fighting of the Civil War period.

Not long before his hearing last year, according to an exposé in The New York Times, the White House pressured EPA scientists to delete a hockey-stick diagram and instead include a reference to the Soon and Baliunas work in a forthcoming EPA report.
Last December in Milan, Italy, at an annual UN meeting of parties to the 1992 Framework Convention on Climate Change, Inhofe distributed a brochure titled "The Facts and Science of Climate Change," which plugged the Soon and Baliunas study.
