I realize that being "argumentative"has its place in education, even just as logical exercises; but there are some limits. Is anyone writing papers on "The Scottsboro Boys were guilty" or "The Holocaust Never Happened"? Does anyone think the reputations of the accused have been fully restored by now? |

Must be an awfully short paper... But what doesn't the public KNOW about the case yet, that this could be written? How many have read UPI? (Not many, unfortunately). What will bring the actual facts to the attention of the public, other than a full exposure of the background to the attempted frame-up? And how will that happen while Judge Beaty will not permit testimony to be taken about the actions of those involved? Edited by Quasimodo, Nov 1 2010, 12:34 PM.

Not ONE article asserting that either the Scottsboro boys were actually guilty, or that the Holocaust didn't happen. The only reason anyone could even present a paper questioning the verdict of the NC AG is that the full facts have not yet been made available to the public, so that the truth of the innocence of the accused has become as accepted as the truth about the innocence of the Scottsboro boys. When one thinks of the Scottsboro boys, one thinks of VICTIMS (even though they were no angels). When one thinks of the Duke lacrosse team, one ought also to think first of VICTIMS (and they were a lot less out-of-line than the Scottsboro boys). If that is NOT the case today, then it is the fault of the MEDIA, for FAILING TO REPORT as much of the truth as they know; and the fault of the federal courts, for hindering the public exposure of the full truth. The full truth has yet to come out, and the public has yet to be made aware of it. (MOO) |

This is the ONLY paper listed with reference to the Duke case. Imagine some unwashed freshman needing a paper quickly, knowing nothing about the case, and turning to this. This would be all that he would find. I submit that the site NEEDS to have more papers about the case made available. All that one has to do is submit them. (500 words is ONE TYPEWRITTEN PAGE. Sgt.Gottlieb did 33 pages. You can surely do ONE page.) This need not be much longer than a long post. But we shouldn't leave the field unoccupied and let it be lost by default.

Harrison Hayford (who would have been 94 today) and I were together on a panel when we learned that we had been superseded and were to be silenced--the December 1990 Melville Society meeting which has been memorialized by Robert K. Wallace in Melville and Turner (1992). There a panelist resurrected a 1920s claim that Hawthorne had minutely portrayed Melville in a story written long before he knew Melville or knew much about him other than what he remembered from Typee. When Hayford demurred, bringing up the evidence of when the two men had met, there was a mutinous muttering from the audience. Rather than focusing on the panelists and the audience, Wallace singled out the man who for him symbolized the repudiating of historical scholarship--"the petulant stranger in the doorway at session 640 of the Modern Language Association convention in Chicago on December 30, 1990, who kept insisting, with regard to Melville and history, that 'the facts don't matter.'" From the front of the room I saw and see now in my mind "the petulant stranger," his satanic red beard askew as shouted "THE FACTS DON'T MATTER!" I hear shouts, not mere calm insistence, and between his shouts I remember his chortling with the glee of a critic (or perhaps a might-have-been scholar?) proclaiming his own liberation from even the least responsibility to documentary data. Hayford and I were permitted to walk unharmed out of that lions' den, the last Melville meeting at MLA either of us attended, except the one in Cancun which I attended so I could climb a pyramid at Chichen Itza. The lesson of December 1990 was clear: the old sane rules of evidence had been overturned, and "facts" no longer mattered. That would have been the time to abandon my biography about a dead white man, for its reception had been vividly foretold. I kept working on my biography, despite that warning and many others. The most ferocious warning was Duke University Professor Cathy Davidson's March 1994 "New Melville" issue of American Literature, which had been, when I was on the advisory board, a respectable refereed journal. The message was staggeringly hostile, immeasurably ignorant, and absolutely unambiguous: "We already have fullscale biographies of Melville." Davidson’s contempt for scholarship persisted, as did her glee at the "ruckus" the "New Melville" issue triggered. As late as 2003 when reprinting one of the essays in No More Separate Spheres, which she co-edited with Jessamyn Hatcher, Davidson gloated over "the brushfire of attention," the "reaction that went all the way to the New York Times Magazine. As late as 2004 Davidson was unrepentant about the shoddiness of evidence in the "New Melville" issue: "And did he beat his wife? Probably." For Cathy Davidson, as for her new President at Duke, Richard Brodhead, “THE FACTS DON’T MATTER.” Indeed, for Brodhead, there are really no facts, but merely elusive wisps of information or misinformation which keep transforming themselves. As Brodhead said in justification of his ignoring evidence about the innocence of the lacrosse players, “the facts kept changing.” |

Some thoughts on FACTS on the birthday of the late scholar Harrison Hayford, who would have been 94 today. Hayford and I were together on a panel when we learned that we had been superseded and were to be silenced--the December 1990 Melville Society meeting which has been memorialized by Robert K. Wallace in MELVILLE AND TURNER (1992). There a panelist resurrected a 1920s claim that Hawthorne had minutely portrayed Melville in a story written long before he knew Melville or knew much about him other than what he remembered from TYPEE. When Hayford demurred, bringing up the evidence of when the two men had met, there was a mutinous muttering from the audience. Rather than focusing on the panelists and the audience, Wallace singled out the man who for him symbolized the repudiating of historical scholarship--"the petulant stranger in the doorway at session 640 of the Modern Language Association convention in Chicago on December 30, 1990, who kept insisting, with regard to Melville and history, that 'the facts don't matter.'" From the front of the room I saw and see now in my mind "the petulant stranger," his satanic red beard askew as shouted "THE FACTS DON'T MATTER!"

Oh how I wish someone would plagiarize some of my pinned pieces on Brodhead and get them on AcaDemon as studies of the way Brodhead handled the hoax. Rewrite them, oh enterprising youth, improve them and refocus them and put them for sale on AcaDemon. |
