The Mid-Atlantic tradition is back in the spotlight this week as a result of the controversy swirling around Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh. Three women have accused the judge of sexual assault, putting his seat on the high court in jeopardy. One of the women — Christine Blasey Ford — says she was assaulted by Kavanaugh at a drunken high school party in the 1980s. Denying all of the charges, Kavanaugh has released copies of his calendar from the summer of 1982, evidence, he says, that he attended no such party.
