?si=0udcY6TUv93BZolGThe most informative and interesting interview Ive seen since I can remember. It is David Cay Johnston on the Mark Thompson show, concerning the arrest of Andrew. Just outstanding: the best half hour Ive spent since that night with your .never mind. 😂

They're not about child rape
They are about official misconduct by disclosing state secrets connected to trade negotiations and specifically disclosing them to Jeffrey Epstein
Now, let's look at the Trump-Epstein sex, blackmail, treason and money-laundering empire. (less the pedo part)
Got enough evidence already?
Al Capone was sent up for tax evasion, the money trail
And he died from the effects of syphilis. (that's the sex part)
Run for the ketchup, oh Orange one?

Just went to my 50th reunion.

(29,099 posts)...so there were 2 groups of students - those who started at U of R as freshman and lived on the River Campus, and those who transferred in from other schools as juniors, and lived in Helen Wood Hall across the street from Strong Memorial Hospital.
I was one of the latter, having made the very unwise decision to go to the same college as my high school boyfriend, who turned out to be a possessive and controlling jerk once we were away from home. We were both bio majors and had almost all our classes together, and once I realized I needed to ditch him it was also clear that I needed to transfer schools. It also helped that where I was did not have a nursing program.
Anyway, those of us who were transfers really didn't have much, if anything, to do with the River Campus, which was probably somewhat unfortunate in terms of typical college life. We did most of our socializing with each other and the med students. I did go to the "Nipple Of Knowledge" library a few times.
Helen Wood Hall was quite a charming, old-fashioned building that I really liked living in. When I went back for my 50th in 2023, it was really sad to see that all the charm was gone. The 3 floors that had been single student dorm rooms have all been converted into boringly characterless office cubicles that all look exactly the same. Had I not known I was in Helen Wood Hall, I wouldn't have had a clue where I was.

It was a whole different academic world in those days. I have a million stories about my time there. Well, you know what I mean

(29,099 posts)1. My first night in my single person room on the 4th floor, I thought I heard someone sobbing. I knew we had some classmates from all over the US, and I thought perhaps someone was feeling homesick. Budding Florence Nightingale that I fancied myself to be, I stepped out into the hallway to see if I could tell which room the crying was coming from and see if I could help. One of the charming features of this old building was transoms above the doors. An open transom a few doors down made it very easy to localize the sounds, and it soon became clear that my diagnosis of homesickness was very wrong. It was one of the senior class nursing students and her med school boyfriend in the throes of passion. The 2 of them regularly "serenaded" us until she graduated, and were the subject of some amused recollections at our 50th reunion in 2023.
2. The 2nd and 4th floor rooms housed nursing students. The 3rd floor rooms were occupied by main campus students who didn't want to live on the River Campus dorms. Most of them were pretty odd characters, and it lots of them were pot smokers. Many nights, the singular and unmistakable aroma of marijuana wafted thru all the floors. I'm surprised those of us who were not partaking didn't get high from second hand smoke.

(28,157 posts)When everyone returned from a vacation and someone had died in one of the rooms and wasnt discovered until people came back?
To complement your serenading story: this wild young lady lived on my floor in The Hill and one morning I got up to shower and lo and behold she was taking a shower with this guy on my hall. I did my business and left for class. When I came back nearly theee hours later they were still in the shower!
Ah
youth!!

And 3 hours in the shower? Maybe they took a break and came back. Your dorm must have had a massive hot water tank if there was still hot water after 3 hours.

I knew the guy
it was closer to 5 hours I think.
She died rather mysteriously our senior year. We had no indication of what happened but it was not good.

Our trouble win't be over when he's gone. His backers have people in the wings to continue what he has started.
