Angels in America directed by Mike Nichols and written by Tony Kushner, based on his Pulitzer Prize-winning play

“I hate America, Louis. I hate this country. Nothing but a bunch of big ideas and stories and people dying, and then people like you. The white cracker who wrote the National Anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word free to a note so high nobody could reach it. That was deliberate.”

It was 20 years ago today: Thomas Newman’s soundtrack to Angels in America was released on Nonesuch. Newman's romantic, epic-scale orchestral score to the Mike Nichols–directed HBO film version of Tony Kushner's play "seems divinely inspired," says the San Francisco Chronicle, and proves "rewarding in its own right from beginning to end ... Newman has risen gloriously to the greatness of Angels." You can hear it again here.

Starring Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Mary-Louise Parker, Justin Kirk, Jeffrey Wright, Ben Shenkman, and Patrick Wilson, the six-hour epic features a screenplay Kushner adapted from his 1991 Tony Award–winning play.

April 22, 2024: Kinder Than Man, Althea Davis

Kinder Than Man Althea Davis

And God please let the deer on the highway get some kind of heaven. Something with tall soft grass and sweet reunion. Let the moths in porch lights go someplace with a thousand suns, that taste like sugar and get swallowed whole. May the mice in oil and glue have forever dry, warm fur and full bellies. If I am killed for simply living, let death be kinder than man.

[anotherhumaninthisworld]

Any info on Louise Sébastienne? I’d like to know more about her :3

You mean Danton’s second wife? In that case, good question, but unfortunately not one I think has very exciting answers… Louise left no written material behind, nor could I find any letters adressed to her. All that we really have are documents briefly mentioning her.

Louise was born in Paris on March 3 1776. Her parents were Marc-Antoine Gély (1751-18) and Marie-Jeanne Léger Revel (1759-1825). According to Claude-François-Étienne Dupin (1767-1828) De la Révolution à la restauration, au service des administrés (2015) by Gildas Dacre-Wright, Louise was the youngest of three daughters. At the time of her marriage with Danton, she lived with her parents on the second floor of 24 of Cour de Commerce, a floor above her future husband.

When going through Danton biographies in order to find any info on Louise, three claims regarding the nature of their union continuously showed up. The first was that Louise knew the Dantons before marrying Georges, some saying her father Marc-Antoine had gotten into contact with Danton’s father by frequenting the latter’s café (Danton (1914) by Louis Madelin, Danton (1935) by Hermann Wendel), others that she was Gabrielle’s friend (Danton (1978) by Normann Hampson, Danton (1987) by Frank Dwyer). The second claim was that it was Gabrielle who begged the two to marry as a last wish (Life of Danton (1906) by Augustus Henry Beesly, Danton (1978) by Normann Hampson,  Danton (1987) by Frank Dwyer and the third that Louise, being a religious person, was the one who asked for the ceremony to be officiated by a refractory priest (Danton (1914) by Louis Madelin, Danton (1978) by Normann Hampson, Life of Danton (1906) by Augustus Henry Beesly, Danton (1935) by Hermann Wendel). However, none of these could cite a primary source (or any source for that matter) for these claims, Augustus Henry Beesly going so far as to say ”There is a story that his first wife had recommended the marriage” and Norman Hampson that ”Gabrielle is said to have urged Louise Gély, a friend of the family and barely fifteen, to take care of her two boys. Louise is believed to have insisted, not merely on a religious marriage but on one celebrated by a priest who had refused to accept the revolutionary religious settlement.” So perhaps these are just apocryphal claims that hold themselves alive because no one bothers to check their origin properly.

Regardless, the marriage contract was passed on June 14 1793, in the presence of family members of the bride and groom. According to it, Louise received a dowry of 10 000 livres from her parents, along with 30 000 livres from Danton’s aunt Lenoir, to have if she was to survive her husband.

According to Danton, Mémoire sur sa vie privée (1865) Louise and Danton had a child together that died young, although I’ve not seen that claim repeated anywhere else…

On July 10 1794 a register was signed, handing custody of Danton’s two surviving children over to their maternal grandfather. Louise did not sign this paper, but her father did (perhaps only men could do it?). It’s hard to tell if Louise had taken care of her step-sons up until that point (that’s the conclusion drawn in Life in Revolutionary France (2020) by Mette Harder) or if they were taken in by their grandparents immediately and this was just a formal thing. It would nevertheless appear like Louise kept up contacts with Danton’s family. The paper L’Éclair wrote in 1895 that ”a correspondence (which I’ve not found any trace of) attests that Danton’s second wife and her father were still in contact with Danton’s sons and sister-in-law during the second empire.” Louise’s second husband, Dupin, had known the family before they married, and the godfather of the couple’s first surviving child may have been Danton’s brother-in-law François Victor Charpentier. Similarily, in 1812, Charpentier’s wife Constance painted a portrait of Louise (”Baronne Dupin”). Danton’s sons, however, couldn’t even get Louise’s name right in a memoir written 1846:

In the course of this same year, 1793, we cannot indicate the precise time, he (Danton) married, as his second wife, mademoiselle Sophie (sic) Gély, who was still alive two years ago (we do not know if she has died since).

On July 13 1795, Louise was present for the removal of seals for Danton’s old house, playing the role of Danton’s attorney general. According to the protocol she had at this point moved to Arcis-sur-Aube, where Danton’s mother also lived.

Louise got remarried to Claude-François-Étienne Dupin, by then chief secretary of the department of Seine, in 1796. They had a religious wedding ceremony on May 9 and a civil one the day right after. According to Claude-François-Étienne Dupin… (2015) the ceremony was presided over by abbé de Keravenant, who had also been in charge of the one between Louise and Danton. Louise’s father, along with four others, were the only witnessses. Louis Madelin claimed in his Danton (1914) to have received letters from people who knew Louise as an old woman, telling him that she disliked talking about Danton after remarrying. 

The couple first settled down in Danton’s old apartment, but they would move around a lot in the years to come, starting two years later when they went to live at Rue du Théâtre français instead. Dupin, being appointed baron of the Empire in 1809, sometimes went on long missions, while Louise mostly stayed at home and gave birth to their children. In 1808 the family moved to Niort after Dupin was appointed there, whose Maternal Charity Society (whose goal it was ”to help poor women in childbirth, to provide for their needs and help with the breastfeeding of their children”) Louise became a member of in 1812. They moved back to Paris one year after that. Dupin died 1828 and Louise 28 years later, aged 80. Both were buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery.

Dupin and Louise had five children together, of which the two youngest lived to see adulthood, a girl, Camille Antoinette (born 1801) and a boy, Antoine Louis Gabriel (1804-1856). The latter married in 1832 and had a child fifteen years later, but after that his lineage seems to end. Camille on the other hand had a girl, Marie Bellot de Kergorre (1837-1884), who in her turn gave birth to the French author René de Laigue (1862-1942, who actually has his own wikipedia page). René had two daughters that died in 2002 and 2008 respectively. I can’t find any info on whether they had children or not, but if they did, it’s possible Louise still has descendants that are alive and kicking, and if not, she at least had not that long ago.

Since, as mentioned, Louise left no writings behind, I couldn’t find anything regarding the idea that she was a royalist, which is what’s claimed on wikipedia among other places.

Troy Robert Brake, Michigan inmate 725574, born 1977, incarceration intake in 2009 at age 32, sentenced to life

Homicide, Felon in possession of weapons, Criminal Sexual Conduct, Assault

In 2010, an appeals court affirmed the murder convictions of Troy Brake, the man who shot and killed 52-year-old Sharmaine Zimmer, her sons Jeremy, 20, and Tyler, 18, and beat Jeremy's girlfriend, Katherine Brown to death in September 2008.

Brake, who is serving a mandatory life prison sentence, challenged the convictions, claiming evidence of a subsequent attack on a prostitute was incorrectly admitted at his trial and that authorities could not directly tie the gun used to kill the Zimmers to him.

The three-judge panel found that testimony surrounding Brake's conviction on the assault against Mary Louise Parker was relevant to the case as a similar act committed by the same suspect. The weapon testimony was also allowed, and judges noted that the gun was only one piece of evidence that tied Brake to the homicides.

In the opinion, the Court noted that testimony of a Kent County Jail inmate, who Brake confessed to, and others led to the murder convictions.

“The record also reflects that when the defendant was interviewed by the police about the murders, he lied, stating that he had not seen the Zimmers since he was 12 or 13 years old,” the opinion states. “Review of the record testimony also indicates that defendant had sufficient time to drive from his house to the Zimmers' home, commit the murders, then return home all while purportedly being at (a friend's house).

“Importantly, the opportunity to commit a crime can be used to determine that defendant was the perpetrator of the crime.”

Authorities said Brake killed the Zimmers because he wanted to sexually assault Brown. Brake told a jail inmate that was his intent and that he'd do it “by any means necessary, even if it would come to getting rid of the rest of the people in the house.”

He told the inmate, Fradel Pugh, “I take what I want.” He also indicated to Pugh that he hated women because they had mistreated him, testimony showed.

An appeals court earlier denied Brake's appeal of an attempted murder conviction for an assault on Parker. In that case, he argued his intoxication lessened his responsibility in an October 2008 rape and pistol-whipping of the woman. He also argued the violence against Parker was a drunken retaliation for a robbery attempt, and his goal was to silence her.

That appeals panel said the violence displayed and threatening statements Brake made reflected he was "fully prepared to execute." He attacked and sexually assaulted Parker along South Division Avenue.

The assault on Parker happened weeks after Brake set the Zimmers' Wright Township home on fire to cover up the Sept. 29 slayings.

Grand Rapids police investigating the assault on Parker discovered a gun inside Brake's truck that later was linked to the Ottawa County murders. It was a key piece of evidence because detectives said, damage caused by an accelerant-fueled fire destroyed much of the Zimmer residence.
