The Caning
I deleted a Howie Rose is leaving post -- misunderstood -- just leaving WFAN. I thought The Caning (of Charles Sumner) interesting, but think the idea it was as important ("drove America to Civil War") to events a bit dubious. Also, like the Holmes book, could have been edited a tad. It also does not cite Sumner's work in Roberts v. Boston, a glaring oversight.
