      3. Joseph Biden, one of the few white employees at the community pool, is keen to establish himself as the legitimate authority of this space. He singles out his mostly likely presumptive challenger, Corn Pop, and instigates a conflict with him by calling him "Esther Williams".pic.twitter.com/t0LFB5hGVD

      Footnote to 3. There are 2 highly contextual story elements endogenous to the chronotype of early 1962 Wilmington. Biden, in recounting the story in 2017, stresses their peculiarity-"And to show you how things have changed," He's not talking about race relations, but Pomade.pic.twitter.com/6nNzpQGuwZ

      (con't) Pomade was a water-based styling gel made from lanolin, beeswax, or petroleum jelly, and was popular (along with hair relaxer) in 1950s-60s African-American young men's fashion. This detail is not simply "cosmetic', but ironically integral to the story's main conflict.pic.twitter.com/uyITFWP47n

      (con't) Although popular imagination attributes more "natural" hairstyles to the '60s, pomade was still in vogue as a styler, as William Morris--AKA "Corn Pop" illustrated. However, it's the likely conjunction of Pomade and some unknown chemical relaxer, which sets the stage:pic.twitter.com/U8lMFpmodj

      (con't) At the time, hair relaxing or a "perm" invented in 1906 was a treatment popular in Black communities as a way to straighten hair with by chemically "relaxing" the natural curls, using a strong alkali, usually ammonium thioglycolate or even formaldehyde, every 8-11 weeks.pic.twitter.com/ye0DDz0e1L

      Though the cultural controversy of this fashion choice--famously and critically lost on young joe biden--is integral to the story's implicature--the immediate contingencies of using pomade & relaxer are more relevant: a perm is ruined by water, necessitating here, a Swimming Cappic.twitter.com/wS5U2BnaZk

      This is a crucial point in the exegesis, as we can now specify where its causal and material contingencies are supplanted with certain affective contingencies; this departure into the dramatic space of fabula--by his own admission--ensues internally, in 20-year old Bidenpic.twitter.com/EJkffygyoU

      more clearly: it's absolutely critical to understand that although Corn Pop was indeed by all third-party accounts, "a Bad Dude", young Joseph Biden was absolutely the instigator of this conflict, as his reflection in the story's 3 sequential episodes, reveals progressively:

      with this we may return to 4. Corn Pop violates a minor safety rule on the pool's diving board. Having presumably had his hair relaxed and pomaded, is wearing a swimming cap. And while for new lifeguards diving boards are an item of frequent accidents and special anxiety..pic.twitter.com/6ujJ1Iquji

      ...the liabilities of which for pools demand (still) strictness from employee lifeguards however, while story itself is dependent upon a host of highly contextual and historical elements, its dramatic impetus of the story notably does *not* follow from any of them but instead,
