Doug, here is a bit, a small bit, on the Hamilton case: "Hamilton rushed into print to preserve his reputation for public probity, confessing to adultery in order to exonerate himself on the charge of corrupt financial transactions." James Smith, The Republic of Letters, The Correspondence between Jefferson and Madison The footnote reads: In The History of the United States for 1796 (Philadelphia 1797), James T Callender accused Hamilton of adultery with Mrs. James Reynolds, whose husband blackmailed him, then accused him of mishandling government funds while he was secretary of the treasury; see John C. Miller, The Federalist Era, 1789-1801 (New York, 1960), pp.203-5 The following year, he was offered the vacant Senate seat from N.Y. by Gov. John Jay, but he declined. In 1799, he took over the provincial army after the death of Washington. This is a boring post, surely, but you as a lawyer are, no doubt, innured to tedium. <g>
