"v. [with obj.] Brit. informal criticize severely and reject as worthless: 'he has pointedly rubbished professional estimates of the development and running costs.'" New Oxford American Dictionary (2010).

"The supposed inconsistency between _Brown_ and the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment has assumed enormous importance in modern debate over constitutional theory. Such is the moral authority of _Brown_ that if any particular theory does not produce the conclusion that _Brown_ was correctly decided, the theory is seriously discredited." ORIGINALISM AND THE DESEGREGATION DECISIONS, by Michael W. McConnell, 81 Va. L. Rev. 947 (1995). The article goes against a long-standing consensus and argues that, in fact, _Brown_ was correctly decided under the original meaning of the Amendment. The Topeka school involved in the case is now a National Historic Park. https://www.nps.gov/brvb/index.htm

Two other lists I know of address the same topic. Modern Library put together in 1999 a list of the 100 best novels and 100 best non-fiction books [1]. (The best novel was Ulysses.) Time Magazine published in 2005 a list of the best 100 English-language novels published since 1923. [2]

Offhand, yes, this looks legal, under section 22 of the Trade Act of 1974. Such tariffs, however, are limited to 150 days and a maximum rate of 15%.

In Standard ML, you can do either 1+2 or op+(1, 2).

Two other single-handed round-the-world accounts I enjoyed are Robin Lee Graham's _Dove_ (the name of his boat), and Chay Blyth's _The Impossible Voyage_. Graham's voyage was noteworthy because of how young he was -- 16. He might have been, as I recall, the youngest ever to make such a voyage at that time. His book was later made into a film starring Joseph Bottoms and Deborah Raffin. Blyth's was noteworthy because he was the first to sail singlehanded "the wrong way round," westwards, nonstop. Incredibly arduous. Wikipedia says The Times called this "The most outstanding passage ever made by one man alone." His vessel was a 59 footer called "British Steel."

Note that these lectures are from 1989, but the definition of Standard ML was revised in 1997. See, e.g., https://www.smlnj.org/sml97.html.

One of the most famous accounts, also universally acclaimed, is Primo Levi's Survival at Auschwitz.

Highly recommend John Ciardi's essay on this poem, "Robert Frost: The Way to the Poem" (1958). https://issues.aperture.org/article/1958/3/3/robert-frost-th...

1. I think "fairly easy" badly mischaracterizes its difficulty. 2. I found Harry Blackmire, The New Bloomsday Book: A Guide Through Ulysses, very helpful.
