...1860s, when maritime raiders roamed the East Coast to lure sailing ships onto reefs and loot them, a mustached sea captain, Israel J. Merritt of New York, organized an honest salvage operation. Merritt's aim was to save a vessel from sinking if he could-or, if he could not, to salvage it and its cargo.

...unfair to put proiminent politicians on a platform and ask them to participate in a public dialogue, because they couldn't be expected to present more than a simplified PR image of their compliciated political lives.
