HISTORY: British universities are examining how they benefited from slavery
For some this is uncomfortable. For others it is an opportunity
Every year, in early December, Jesus College, Cambridge, hosts the Rustat Feast. The tables in hall are lit with candles. There is wine, and music from the college choir. The assembled diners raise a glass to Tobias Rustat, whose generosity three centuries ago allowed generations of orphans to go to Cambridge and be ordained as Church of England clergymen. Then, last November, just before the latest feast, Rustat’s name was quietly dropped from the jollities.
Rustat was a courtier to King Charles ii. John Evelyn, a contemporary diarist, described him as “a very simple, ignorant, but honest and loyal creature”.

USA Politics: A president unbound takes charge of the U.S.A. – commentary
It is Tuesday, November 3, 2020, presidential election day. Donald J. Trump has long predicted that he will win re-election by the biggest landslide ever. But precinct samples late in the day show that he is, instead, headed for a historic defeat.
Trump invokes executive power, cancels the election and installs himself in office for a second term. He uses as his authority his February impeachment acquittal of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He especially cites his impeachment defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz: “Every public official that I know believes that his election is in the public interest.
