wiki says sophia was still a student

eph blog says sophia is recovering

• ny post says either eric prince's black water tiger swan security and the morton county sheriffs' office is lying or sophia was trying to blow up a car by lighting a propane tank on fire in 20° weather while she was underneath the car and was shot with rubber bullets 3 times while lying under the car but they somehow hit her in the chest and groin

occam's razor says

'She had volunteered, along with three others, to hold the ground in front of the span, which the protest army had cleared of police- and pipeline-company barricades earlier in the day.

Suddenly a cop on a loudspeaker yelled, “Get away!”

Instantly she was hit by three rubber bullets, in the groin, chest and left arm. She fumbled to pick up a plastic shield, but the onslaught escalated.

“I heard a loud blast and was knocked to the ground,” said Wilansky. “I was in complete shock.”'

sophia texted and posted with her free hand on her phone on the way to the hospital

'Wilansky says she plans to sue to procure the shrapnel and clothing removed by surgeons and collected by the feds, in order to use the evidence in legal actions she will pursue against the law enforcement agencies she believes hurt her that day'

'the graduate' by charles richard webb amazon



charles webb wrote the novel 'the graduate' shortly after graduating williams college in 1961

'Benjamin Braddock, disenchanted after his time at university, was based on himself; Elaine Robinson on his real-life partner, a woman named Fred; and Mrs Robinson was based on a doctor's wife who visited his father's house to play bridge.'

- the gaurdian march 26 2005

the list april 12th 20011

'Charles completed The Graduate in his final year of college while studying in Massachusetts, and it was published in 1963.'

'In a bid to relieve himself from the “burden” of money the author refused his inheritance from his father, and gave away his home in Massachusetts to a bird charity.'

- amp news

'Her name, meanwhile, came from a classmate in college whom Webb hardly knew. In adulthood, he met up with the classmate again, and learnt that the boy's mother had been going around for years proudly claiming - with some justification - to be the real Mrs Robinson.

Both Webb and Benjamin were brought up in the well-heeled environs of Pasadena where Webb's father, Richard, was a heart specialist. Did he have a reasonably good relationship with his father?'

- the independent


alchetron

'Since the couple pulled up stakes in Southern California and arrived in Massachusetts last July with their mutt, Mrs. R. (named, of course, for the story’s Mrs. Robinson), and a few thousand dollars in savings, the fates have not been kind to the Webbs. First, they had hoped to settle in Williamstown, home of Charles’s alma mater, Williams College, where he planned to begin writing a sequel to The Graduate. Unable to find a place they could afford, they were taken in by a woman in Bethel, Conn., who read of their plight in a newspaper—but threw them out after learning of their fondness for nudity.'

'The couple’s habit of impulsive philanthropy would soon be entrenched. Their second son, David, was born in 1967 in Laguna Beach, Calif., where they were living at Webb’s parents’ house. Three years later they purchased a $65,000 home in Williamstown, but, after a few weeks, decided to give that one away too, to the Audubon Society. '
