  1. On 31 March 2011 the very slow Durham judge has ruled that Count 18 against Richard H. Brodhead goes forward into DISCOVERY phase. We will see how much documentation has survived from 2006. Much may be revealed about how New Critical ignoring of the author leads right to ignoring living people as real. This I will expand upon, but what I said about Brodhead in 1984, that he was blind to human agony, Melville's agony, has proved true several times since then, in different places. Don't be hasty to dismiss my claim here about the longterm effects of the New Criticism.
