melville -- hawthorne was older than melville. melville lost his father. melville had a kind of polymorphous sexuality. he was very open to attachments to men, women, things, whales, what have you. and when he read hawthorne (unintelligible) a group of short stories, and just at the same time as he met hawthorne -- unclear which happened first -- he was -- he was overwhelmed. he was overpowered by the man, who was so enormously handsome, so smart, so reserved, so satiric and so philosophically compatible, both in his person and in his writing. so melville was enamored of him, and melville always wore his heart on his sleeve and wrote gushing, erotic letters to hawthorne. the sad thing is that hawthorne's letters don't survive, so we don't really know his side of the correspondence. he was a very different kind of man than melville was. and so if you divide the world into melville lovers and hawthorne lovers, as spurious a way to divide the world as any, then people who love melville often dislike hawthorne because they feel that hawthorne rejected melville

the president also recommended melville fuller. he had actually recommended an illinois attorney for the post, but he declined the offer. the chief justiceship went to fuller, whom the press labeled the most obscure man ever nominated for that exalted position. when justice matthews die, president harrison took nine months to compile a long list of possible nominees before narrowing it down to two. he chose to friends with similar credentials, degrees from yale, and service on state and federal courts. they referred to each other as president herring -- they referred each other at. but justice miller fell victim to a stroke. harrison had the opportunity to name the runner up to the high court. he would recommend jackson to fill the 1893 vacancy. apparently, jackson's friendship with benjamin harrison from their days in the u.s. senate overcame their partisan differences. nor did the senate majority delay the confirmation. let's turn to the second category -- 20th-century examples. justice louis brandeis had only been on the court a
