Scott and Aaron focus more on the present this week, with a pivotal midterm election in the books. (This year’s election focused heavily on the economy, and Aaron observes that this is typically the case – not just in recent individual elections, but also in long-term hindsight and the way we judge historical leaders, empires, dynasties and eras.)
Scott does eventually get into historical events too: this week in history, Susan B. Anthony cast an illegal vote; the telegraph forces Congress to set a uniform Election Day; a pioneering female journalist investigates Standard Oil; and James Naismith invents basketball – but why would they have had peach baskets in Massachusetts in the middle of winter?
