My high school world history teacher, back in the Ike years, was a Roman Empire freek so we spent half a year diving into why they eventually failed. The guy was good but he didn’t include FAFO in the explanations——bad timing, I guess?
that’s funny...My high school American History teacher was an Irishman with a thick brogue who had a love for Tammany Hall history. Every now and again we’d ask “questions” that would bring him back to Tammany Hall stories.
