At Berkley I did my PhD alongside Locken and
Donaldson, two future Pulitzers.
:46:25
They were no better than me,
but they were American.
:46:30
Me, I came back here, I started
to teach, got married,
:46:35
And then... then nothing.
:46:37
Your women kept you too busy.
-That was small time, like you said.
:46:41
No, what I lacked was extravagance.
:46:45
I went in for pathetic trysts
in poorly heated East End flats.
:46:52
I was replaced by a TA within 48 hours.
The dean neglected to say goodbye.
:46:57
The lowliest secretary
gets a cake for maternity leave.
:47:07
Ladies and gentlemen, for health reasons
I'll be unable to complete this term.
:47:14
Ms Raphaelle Metellus
will replace me.
:47:19
Does this affect our deadlines?
:47:22
No, deadlines and exam dates
remain unchanged.
:47:26
Any other questions?
:47:35
Good luck.
-Thanks.

So, as you saw last week, the 1840
election was particularly stormy.
:47:48
The Whig party,
:47:52
then newly formed, united four
distinct constituencies
:47:58
First, the National Republicans, followers of
Adams and Clay, the party founders.
