 George Gordon Byron Life by E. H. Coleridge

Byron had recently published some pro-Gallican stanzas, "On the 'Star of the Legion of Honour,'" in the Examiner (April 7), and it was felt by many that private dishonour was the outcome of public disloyalty.

 Hobby-O - (The Diary of John Cam Hobhouse, edited by Peter Cochran)
Byron met some famous academics while at Cambridge, particularly Richard Porson, the professor of Greek, famous for his skill in editing Aeschylus, his drunkenness, and his foul language; also the Trinity tutor Thomas Jones, who was a liberal influence on Byron’s thought.
Byron feigned incomprehension and dismay, but rumours began to circulate rapidly, and soon he, the darling of London society, had been transformed into a monster, about whom no tale was disbelieved.
Byron continued writing Don Juan, despite Teresa, who wanted him to stop it, and despite Hobhouse, who probably found lots of offensive references in it to himself (he was by now MP for Westminster) including the fact that he’d caught the clap in Cadiz.

I know the article is two weeks old, but I don't know much about Matt Brown and hoped you could tell me your opinoin on how this race is shaping up.
Unless the guy's won 3-4 times(John Chafee, Byron Dorgan), I'd say that any state that's 60% for one party, and has the other party as a senator, is in for a tough race.
I looked at the 12 key votes of the 107th Congress selected by Barone in his Almanac, and Lincoln Chafee is far too liberal to call himself a Republican.

Some glimmerings of genius are here and there discoverable in their composi- tions, but not in general sufficient to rescue them from undis- turbed oblivion.
A favourite author will sometimes be found to write insignificantly9 and it is only the best of his pieces that should be inserted in a collection for general use.
