Death and debates over nepotism and Paris's catacomb legacy
A reflective piece contrasts Washington and Morton on appointing relatives to office while recalling Jefferson. It shifts to a vivid wartime Paris account of incineration and catacombs, then returns to a Indiana political plea for Grant’s nepotism. The piece ends with a long description of an Indigenous memory game used in schools to enhance observation and recall.
