I hope everyone, including all those uneducated Aussies who probably never
spent very many years studying the fine details of American history --
shocking! -- will recognize that my Madison quote was about Alexander
Hamilton (who really was a bastard brat of a Scots peddler) and meant no
offense to the living Andrew Hamilton, but who can resist a quote like
that on April 1? (which it still is, where I sit)

Many things are not seen in their true nature and as they really are,
unless they are seen as beautiful. Behavior is not intelligible, does
not account for itself to the mind, and show the reason for its
existing, unless it is beautiful.
