The Master of Ballantrae (it’s been done before, but a great story)

The Pre-raphaelite Tragedy: John and Effie take a Scottish holiday with John Millais

R. v. Somerset. Before Wilberforce there was Blackstone and Lord Mansfield. On emancipation, the common lawyers got there first. Dread Scott in England in 1772. “The air of England is too free to be breathed by slaves. Let Mr Somerset go free.”

The Canada-USSR hockey series in 1972. Like Miracle on Ice, except a lot more dramatic. Greatest sports series ever. Violence, KGB, triumph in the last seconds.
