[laughter] steve: professional wendell was a psychologist. and he was applying the latest psychological theories of hypnosis, mediums, to the accused. and at the end of the day, the answer was hypnotic excess. so yeah, ted can comment on that later. [laughter] steve so 1892, salem witchcraft : was on the table. witchcraft hysteria was on the table. the essex institute was celebrating it. or at least questioning it, having academic discussions about it. but at the same time, on the other hand, people were starting to come to salem to be tourists. tourism was growing in america. tourism was growing in new england. and there was a market. and salem was not shy. probably the prime mover was daniel lowe, whose store is now rockefeller's on washington street. it was a unitarian church before that. and mr. lowe, you probably h

essex police admitted the arrest was unlawful. the arresting officer was not fully briefed.e made that arrest. the designated officer who we know, the only one qualified to make the arrest, was stuck in traffic. mrjustice stuart smith said ina traffic. mrjustice stuart smith said in a court that since nobody present could have made that arrest lawfully, mr barrymore was entitled to what he called more than nominal damages. you asked what that means, mr barrymore was looking for £2.5 million in compensation. essex police says he should get £1. exactly how much he will get will be decided at a later date. mr barrymore says he is relieved that thejudge has barrymore says he is relieved that the judge has found barrymore says he is relieved that thejudge has found he could not and would not have been lawfully arrested, but in a statement essex police said that the judgment today should not overshadow the unanswered questions about stuart lubbock‘s death. health officials are calling forfood manufacturers to reduce the calorie content ofjunk food in an attempt to tackle childhood

because we have the peabody essex museum in town which is an amazing world-class library we are lucky to have, but it has an interesting history, right? because it is this merger of the old peabody museum of natural history and the essex institute, the historical institution. when they merged, history very quickly left their mission and they became an art museum. art museums are wonderful places. one of my daughters actually in graduate school for art history so i don't di is ss the field, but in some ways it can be very different than history in that they the aren't all that interested in the interpretation that historians might have, right? so what we see right here is the peabody essex museum has the -- well, not the ownership, but they have -- through agreement with the state of massachusetts they hold for the state all of the salem witch trial documents, right? over 900 of them i guess it is. they also have all of these amazing objects that are associated with the people from salem in the 17th century including those from the witch trials, including the portrait of judge samuel s
