  1. The article on Dickinson was very interesting. Who would have guessed that she was a blabbermouth - under the right circumstances? It seems she was extraordinarily lonely - or perhaps she just needed an audience.

  2. The poor 19th century child. The artcle begins by saying he is in a hospital recovering form a broken leg. later in the story it becomes obvious that he was nto recoverign form abroken leg, bjut was there for another reason. ???? Sloppy writign. especially if they wanted this ot be belived as a true story, which I doubt it was.
