I’m thinking of an interleaved reading of the Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist Papers in chronological order.

Should you not be aware, these are included in chronological order, along with other letters, papers and documents, in Library of America's two volume set Debate on the Constitution.

Also, when I did a Google search I found a LOA page, http://www.loa.org/debate/ , with a teaser offer for this set and a 1600 page collection of ThJ's papers &c. IMHO, this is a great offer even if we never have any organized discussion of these volumes here.

In addition, an .rtf version of AS is available on the bookz chat channel. A little rough in the editing, but certainly readable. I’m using that with uBook on my laptop and my HPC’s, since I can’t find my hard copy right now.

If anyone wants it, ping me.

Now, regarding the bracelet, which is indeed a chain, it is a metaphor for Hank’s life. He presents it to his wife, mistakenly believing she will appreciate it, and understand what it cost him to make it. I think AR refers to the chain in the chapter title in order to connect the bracelet to the chains which instead bind Hank to and by his family and the world.

I’ve read AS about ten times, starting in 1957, when I was 14. I was planning to read it again, as soon as I finish P. J. O’Rourke’s treatise on Wealth of Nations. The events of this past fall moved it to the top of may list.
