Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

:help: Jo, looking ahead, Fed 83 is going to run just under an hour at my reading speed. As up to now, the bite-size has been about 10-30 minutes, would it be preferable to break that Paper in halves? It matters not at all to my narration... Rather than being totally exhausted by it, I plan to read ...

Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

Hamilton is off on his bad habits again - I clocked one of his sentences going 132 words in a 2-line zone! And another instance reached 120! :shock: :lol: :D

Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

?? Some of my edits of the Magic Window for 73 and 74 didn't take?? I have re-done them now. Finally, we get into some territory where Hamilton can dispose of whole sections without continuations between papers. Yay! Number 75 is for Treaties! :D https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/federa...

Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

Boy, have I been inattentive. :(

#70 is now corrected with the missing phrase.

#71 is now corrected with the missing outro.

Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

Once again, Hamilton has recourse to the phrase, "all men of good sense will admit that..." But in this essay, he tells how invested in one's own opinions each man is. I suspect he would be offended if someone remarked to him on just that! Herewith is #70! :D https://librivox.org/uploads/k...

Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

Off we go, with another Hamiltonian rant, in #67! :D https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/federalistpapers_67_madison_128kb.mp3 And in #68, we must excuse him (and the Convention) for not guessing how powerful modern communication media have become in building celebrity. :D https://librivo...

Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

Well, Hamilton really got his grump on, at the end of #65! Yet, he had some pithy remarks about factions in the Senate rallying to destroy a man's reputation, or save it. :D

Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

John Jay finally felt up to contributing... his rheumatizz had dealt him out of much of the effort. And he (briefly) returns for a subject on which he is the superior of the three: the Senate's power to make treaties with foreign nations. As one of the negotiators for the treaty ending the Revolutio...

Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

The Senate has been continued, through its SIXTH desideratum (and I defy 90% of the public to know that word, and I question Madison's audience, too)! Proclaiming #63! :D

Re: [POLITICAL SCI]The Federalist Papers by James Madison, John Jay, et al - jo

Don, if they take you up on it, they'll be in for a couple dozen hours of extremely convoluted speechery. I'm not sure they would appreciate that! Personally, the tendency of the authors to keep numbering their points, and also referring to latter and former arguments constantly, argues for reading,...
