 The American Experience | The Duel | Enhanced Transcript
THOMAS FLEMING: Hamilton was a marvelous combination of a lot of personal charm when he wanted to turn it on, but also this combative streak which he could also turn on and become, a really ferocious antagonist.
THOMAS FLEMING: So they accused Hamilton for instance, of stealing money from the government, they accused him of being a would-be Caesar, or a monarchist, that was the really smear word of the era.
THOMAS FLEMING: After Burr lost this unbelievably dirty governorship election, he was a deeply depressed man. We know from his letters to his daughter, that he holed up at his estate, Richmond Hill, and saw nobody, he was isolated.

 Ross, Thomas B.
Thomas Benton Ross was born October 2, 1794, in Georgia, 25 miles from Atlanta, Georgia, of Scotch-Irish extraction.
Judge Ross was, we believe, the first settler in Cowley County, and the only man who dared to remain when the Indians drove out the few settlers in the fall of 1869.
Judge Ross was a strong Democrat, in politics, and his fellow citizens manifested their confidence in him by electing him to various offices.

Thomas Fleming's contribution to the often-told tale is to ground the Hamilton-Burr rivalry in the politics of the day--a politics complicated by many contending ideological factions, powerful interest groups, and lobbyists.
Fleming has done a very good job in portraying the various characters and historical context of which this famous duel between Hamilton and Burr had taken place.

It is important, however, to distinguish between the defiant action taken by Judge Roy Moore—the only law west of the Chattahoochee—and some of the arguments that are being advanced to defend his cause.
If Judge Moore would confine himself to the religious rights of the states and their citizens, all would be well.
The Supreme Court, in banning religious symbols from the public square, is repeating the mistake of the judges in the Dred Scott decision.

 Mysteries of My Father : Nonfiction by Thomas Fleming, reviewed by Derek Alger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The reason, fierce and determined ambition, Fleming’s Irish-American father’s teeth were “a protruding, twisting mess” and he hoped a set of false teeth would transform his appearance more toward “the strong-jawed Anglo-Saxon Protestant types that dominated the stages of Broadway and the advertisements in newspapers and magazines” of that time.
Teddy Fleming’s rise from poverty to power is a remarkable tale of a man driven with guts and drive, but also hiding a sentimental side, a vulnerable side which proved that he couldn’t survive in isolation.
Fleming was in France in 1968, in the Argonne Forest, where his father had fought during the Great War, doing research for a book, when he slipped in the mud and lost the ring.

 Book Review: The Morality of Everyday Life by Thomas Fleming
Fleming argues that since the birth of classical liberalism in the seventeenth century, a century that gave us “universality, rationality, individualism, objectivity, and abstract idealism,” Western Civilization has developed a flaw in its ethics, moral behavior, and thus in the construction of its state apparatus.
Fleming’s response is a cogent and direct rebuttal, “The very notion of citizens acting as the state’s moral deputies implies both a deification of the state and a denial of individual responsibility that would erode the foundations of morality.
Fleming explains that “Storytelling is the most ancient and perhaps the best way that human beings have found to make coherent sense out of their experience.” I shall never again criticize my wife for reading too many novels.

Thomas Fleming is an elegant writer with a raconteur's facility for storytelling, tempered by a historian's devotion to accuracy.
Fleming also takes shots at the notion of "hyphenated Americanism," noting that no matter how much reverence is expressed for the Old Country, after a generation, immigrants invariably become so Americanized as to be completely alien to those in the country they left.

 Abortion: To Protest or Not to Protest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Fleming is a very thoughtful writer, and this article really does cause one to think about the issues involved.
Since Fleming derides such people as deranged and as showing contempt for Christian moral teachings, I would like to hear Fleming's analysis of Romans 13 wherein Paul describes what constitutes LEGITIMATE authority, with reference to what the purpose of law is in the first place.
Fleming dismisses the comparison of abortion with slavery as entirely irrelevant and dangerous, and then implicitly repeats the same mistake of essentially accepting the categorization of human being as chattel by accepting what he himself characterizes as murder as "legal".

Fleming's account is most useful when he scrutinizes the correspondence that passed between the two as their quarrel came to a head, an argument that erupted when dinner-table criticisms of Burr, which Hamilton thought private, wound up being published.

Fleming doesn't falsely claim, as Ellis did, that DNA evidence shows that Jefferson IN FACT sired any children with Sally Hemmings, but just pointed out the accusation that was made in Jefferson's day, sans the inconclusive and falsely reported DNA test made amidst the Clinton scandal.

On the other hand, serious and systematic thought—philosophy, properly understood—provides the set of guidelines by which to judge the experiences of everyday life, tests and criteria by which to measure our decisions and habits, but it does not, should not presume to offer one-size-fits-all answers.
Fleming has made it clear that he has given up, for the present time anyway, on a political solution to our troubles, but if for only matters of sport, the ideological battle still seem worth fighting even if in the cosmos these struggles are no more imporant than a Patriots regular season game.
Keep in mind, Fleming has given up on the political process in this country which is not to say, 'render unto Caesar' and leave it at that.

And in Thomas Fleming's "The Illusion of Victory: America in World War I," it is movingly and powerfully told.
Fleming has a novelist's eye for the anecdote that brings home the larger truth.
Among Fleming's more moving chapters is "The Women of No-Man's-Land" – about the "25,000 skirted Yanks" who "made it over there." Shirley Millard was a New York girl who left her fiance in training, studied a handbook on nursing while crossing the Atlantic and was soon in a hospital near Soissons, under nightly attack.

The Judge Advocate General was twenty-eight-year-old John Laurance, a well-trained New York lawyer and son-in-law of Lee’s old friend Alexander McDougall.
The Judge Advocate General now placed in the record two letters Lee had written to Washington as evidence to support the third charge—of “disrespect to the Commander-in-Chief.” These underscore one of the principal ironies of the case.
Fleming, the well-known author of our Verdicts of History series, relied heavily on the Lee Papers, published by the New-York Historical Society in 1872, in preparing the present article; he also consulted at some length with Dr. Francis S. Ronalds, a member of our Advisory Board and an expert on the Revolution.

Fleming suggests, the promise of an unhappy ending--that's what makes it Irish--but rather the way it culminates in the author himself, a man who has achieved so much success so few generations removed from the famished destitution that first brought his family to this country.

Samuel Alito is one of the best conservative judges in the country, and while he lacks some of Chief Justice John Roberts’ charm (a quality I find revolting in any serious man), he has spent his professional life with his cards planted firmly to his chest.
In his own quiet way, Alito is as baffling to the Demcratic leadership as Roberts was, and even the pundits at the far-left CNN.com concede that opposition to his nomination will really be coming from leftwing lobbying groups that are calling in their chits.
