Still working through Grant. Finished listening to the audiobook Nickel Boys and gave up on Trust. Relistening to Stephen King's The Wind Through The Keyhole which is essentially The Dark Tower 4.5. I also just picked up a bunch of Pulitzer Prize books from eBay (Oscar Wao, Interpreter of Maladies, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Poisonwood Bible (not a Pulitzer winner)).

Great post. Can you finish the story through the present day? It feels like the story ended right when it was taking off ( I understand you’re not writing a biography of Epsteins life, but it would be a compelling read if you did).

This movie reminded me of the line Billy Crystal made at the 2003 Oscars about LOTR Return of the King. "It was nominated for eleven Oscars...for its eleven endings!"

Considering how small potatoes this is compared to the endless scandals coming out of the White House, I’m not surprised this hasn’t become a big story.

Nice piece. Very DFW-esque.

This is an interesting one. 26 years is a long time to pass to have someone come out of the blue and try to make a claim on your inheritance. In my opinion, it would be fair for Yale's estate to get a small piece of sale price, but half would be far too much. Something in the realm of 10% seems more fair to me. 0% also seems fair to me, but I wouldn't quibble if he was awarded 10%.
So did the defendant end up getting all charges dropped?
