The Corner

John Paul Jones

Gouverneur Morris attended a dinner in Paris where Jones met the son of the laird of a Scottish castle that he had raided during the Revolutionary War. When Jones realized that his men had taken the family silver, he sent it back. At the Paris dinner years later, the young nobleman thanked him for his “polite attention.” Sure sounds like Hamas to me.
