Timothy Hickman of the University of California, Irvine, presented an excellent and thought-provoking paper called "Leslie Keeley's Gold Cure: Addiction, the Gold Standard, and Authentic Selfhood in Fin-de-Siecle America" at the conference on Addiction and Culture at Claremont Graduate Humanities Center last March 2. I believe it reflects ongoing dissertation work. He certainly was intimately knowledgeable about Keeley's biography. Robin Room
