David's manning the fort in Edinburgh; Frank phoning it in from Palo Alto
1. Originalism: Neil Gorsuch's nomination hearings have brought "originalism" back into the news. We debate the origins and merits of this judicial philosophy.
2. Trump's 100 Days: As President Trump approaches 100 days in office, we examine the history of this milestone and how Trump compares to his predececessors.
3. Brexit: UK PM Theresa May just triggered Article 50, beginning the process of Britain leaving the European Union. As American historians living in Scotland, Frank and David offer some perspective.
Last Drops
Frank: Victorian novels, particularly the works of Anthony Trollope, as a welcome escape from the present
David: Twitter hastag #ThanksForTyping, highlighting the unpaid and uncredited academic labor done by historians' wives.
