Later On -- Sonja Foxe: Old College Try
(1) Snorky and Hooch
Al Capone and Robert Maynard Hutchins were both born in Brooklyn on January 17/18, 1899. Two miles and half a day apart. The parallels amuse and amaze, from Snorky's pineapples -- the street bombs circa 1928 Chicago mayoral when he owned Republican Big Bill Thompson and Hooch's shepherding of the Manhattan Project, the splitting of the atom concurrent w/the split in the Hutchins marriage.

(2) In Defense of Ptolemy
When Copernicus deposed Jupiter as the King of the Olympians, 1543, replacing the geocentric model of the universe with the heliocentric solar system -- the Ptolemaic vision was consigned to obsolescence. However, in constructing my master's thesis I came to the realization that TIME is GEOCENTRIC and, given that premise, the Ptolemaic world view was, with minimal tweaking, a valid representation of the solar system's physical effects on the earth's core and axis of rotation, the Chandler Wobble within the Precessional Cycle suggesting the Ptolemaic epicycles and how retrogradation affects the axis.
