Some years ago, Yale Law School offered the public a chance to take Akhil Reed Amar's class on Constitutional Law for free. I figured, What am I doing anyway? And enrolled. The depth of my ignorance shocked me.

I owe him a huge debt of gratitude I've never expressed.

What we've seen over the past 20 years is that many Americans don't care much about the constitution
Some hate that it was written by slavers (true)
Others hate that it limits the power of the executive (also true)
Above is a 90 minute lecture ARA gave on the subject at Dartmouth, and below are a few of its main points

Marcia is a great character because she has the imperious, unquestionable power of a matriarch - but she's not a matriarch and doesn't care what happens to Logan's children. She's the Virgin Queen.
Random fact: I had my wedding reception in Logan's townhouse. It's the American Irish Historical Society, across the street from the Met
The moment when Shiv's OB tells her in a gentle tone that she's there for her whatever she might need - and Shiv's eyes fill with tears for a long moment and then she gets very crisp and says, 'thank you very much."

Rolling, Realtime Review of Spare Part IV

Okay, Meghan has moved to London before the wedding
She's a pleaser, a person who wants to be liked, a hugger, generous, a "best little girl in the world" as many daughters of divorced parents can be. She likes to give elaborate, time-consuming gifts to people who seem to be in need of them
She came at this frosty, weird family at California Mach 5 - with hugs, intimacy, ripped jeans, enthusiasm, bouquets of flowers sent out as thank you or pick me ups. She wanted to be quickly close to them

Rolling Real Time Review, "Spare," Part III

J.R. Moehringer is a stone cold genius
You get the sense that he's captured Harry's inner life perfectly - yet in a way that Harry would never have been able to do for himself
The discussion of two of his previous girlfriends - Chelsea David and Cressida Bonas is really interesting. It's not one of those "they meant nothing to me!" kind of gloss-overs. He really cared about them, especially Davis, who would have been a pretty good match.

Rolling, Real Time Review of "Spare"

Part II

I defy anyone to read the chapters devoted to Harry's military service and find anything dishonorable in them. They are detailed, moving, and trace a course of something it's taken me a long time in my life to understand -
Which is that for some young men, military service - with its emphasis on training, physical capability, high standards of preparedness and readiness - is so transformative as to seem a profound and necessary experience for a huge number of men.
I always resisted this, having been a child and adolescent during Viet Nam, and seeing the military as a great destroyer, forcing unwilling young men to commit great and unjustified violence and either dying or being deeply compromised by it. But that was a narrow view

The job of a teacher is to press students on their sloppy thinking, to get them to think more deeply about their assumptions. That is - ironically- what the student did to the teacher when he asked what she would do if she was threatened w a gun.
Her argument crumbed.
In this way, the student performed a valuable function for the teacher. She was able to think about the issue in a new and illuminating way. Would she really "not call anyone" if threatened with a gun?
Also impressive was the calm, non-confrontational manner of the student. He allowed the teacher the space and time to sputter though her illogical position and have a moment of reflection on ideas she had not incorporated into her position
