Sherman entered service in 1942, so it's past that, but other than that, I've got no clue about the year.

Regardless of their innocence or guilt, the trial is widely regarded as farcical and unjust, even at the time.

I've recently been reading a little about Nijinsky and am wondering whether there is any online film of Nijinsky dancing available.

He was committed to an asylum in 1919 and was active shortly before this. This is well within the bounds of film and given his contemporaneous popularity I'm surprised I haven't been able to find any clips of him dancing online.

Does anyone know whether any footage exists?

Because I've lured you here with my question I'll give you this clip of Paul Giamatti doing a brilliant reading from Nijinsky's diaries: https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch?v=XYnxo9K9fQo / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYnxo9K9fQo (beware, probably NSFW).

It's been 57 short years since it was a guaranteed right in the US that my wife and I could have our marriage recognized everywhere. To put that into perspective, we have been married for 24 years. When we got married I had no idea that there was ever a a question that we could be together. It's pretty insane to me.
