a member asked what did brandeis think about woodrow wilson's policies? i acknowledge squarely that brandeis, like jefferson, his idol, had a blind spot and that was race. it is unfortunate that a justice who was such a crusader for equality for women, worked with brillion women in the movement including josephine, silent on racial issues and he joined the court in every race case that comes up in his time. some of these are pro-racial equality, others are not but brandeis says nothing unlike his outspokenness on other issues. my gw colleague takes brandeis to task, with extended period of racial imbalance and suggests he didn't know slaves, wasn't openly racist, prided himself that his family in kentucky have servants and not slaves, he did advise founders of howard university and law school in a way that inspired thurgood marshall and charles hamilton houston to write the brief but led to brown but i agree that this, the stain on his legacy, that he was not more outspoken and didn't draw the connection between crusading desire for what he called racial

i believe this is woodrow wilson here, and the caption allender chose for this piece is, "his last chance." i think in this case, she is talking about this is wilson's last chance to preserve democracy by saving this woman. but if you flip it over, a lot of these have allender's original notes. in this case, she's addressing this to the editor and saying, "i am sure you can come up with a better caption than i have." she is suggesting they need to think about the caption they want to use and rethink what her recommendation is. this is one of the pieces i mentioned where she uses color. so this is watercolor that she uses on here, and this is a fairly simple cartoon. it was published in 1919. the caption that she wrote is "31 more days." they are showing the date, and this would have been around the time that it would be published. she is indicating they only had 31 more days for of particular deadline to achieve there, to perhaps get suffrage passed or have arguments held in congress. and then you flip it over, and there is a pretty lengthy note from nina allender. i will paraphrase. she

we're coming up on 295 nearing the woodrow wilson bridge. it starts to backup. says eight out of ten people, that's 104 million drivers say they followed somebody too closely. they have either yelled at them or gestured or cut them off. 8 million have gone a little bit car, bumped someone, rammed them or confront somebody. and they say the most aggressive group are males 19 to 39 years old who are three times more likely than females to engage in so-called aggressive driving. this is important because there's been a surge in traffic deaths over the last year. 35,000 to be exact. 80% of drivers say it's a problem. even more say it makes them feel fearful of their safety. nih and harvard look at this. it's a condition they call intermittent explosive disorder. it's often popped up as a defense in court. it's not too successful there. don't engage people. don't offend. be tolerate and know that somebody might be having a bad day and certainly don't respond if somebody engages you, don't make eye contact. good rules for the road. we're live on the beltway. back to y
