Really, this is a wonderful article. I could criticize certain parts (e.g. [http://books.google.com/books?id=wQcMDdFC1QEC&pg=PA223&dq=Hick+isbn:9780684804484&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4hbiULCqCYT28gSt0IG4DQ&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Hick%20isbn%3A9780684804484&f=false Goodwin pages 223-224] seems to present a case that Eleanor was not homosexual, or primarily so) but I'm sure that discussion could go on and on. You have presented a concise summary of Hickok's life. Much appreciated!
