The Constant is a History of Getting Things Wrong. Every other Tuesday they look at the accidents, mistakes and bad ideas that helped misshape our world. Like the breakfast cereal magnate who spent his fortune dynamiting the sky, or Marie Antoinette’s hypnotist, or the mobster who tried to escape prison through resurrection.
