  1. There's a line in E.L.Doctorow's novel "Ragtime" , (which references Nesbit et al) which I like. It's something like, roughly, inexactly, "They were calling it the trial of the century, but Emma Goldman knew it was only 1910 and the century had a long way to run."

  2. Just think: if Gloria Allred had been around back then Evelyn might have lived out her days living in luxury in Palm Beach.

  3. One of the newspapers shown in this video, at 10:36, calls the killing of White "The Greatest Sensation In Gotham Since The Killing Of "Jim" Fisk."

  4. A little secret that the History Guy doesn't know or is pretending he doesn't: A lot of people are familiar with the story.
