Interestingly enough within a couple of months of actual hearings, i had moderated a panel for the Federalist Society at yale law school. And on the up panel were a couple of professors and people involved in the process in each had a different perspective on the meaning of the unprocessed and fair statement and criticisms. Vivarium last question to the panelist was what would you do instead . And basically they had minor fixes or tinkering except for one.

Mrs. Pratt had five of them. The largest collection outside of russia, more than the queen of england owns and she had them here in this house. Later on she donated them to the Virginia State museum. So today you could see them in one of the rooms down there. She predeceased mr. Pratt by a number of years. He lived here by himself up until 1975 when well into his 90s he died and at that point he gave the house to the National Park service. Realizing its historical importance.
