Ignorance of U.S. History

I wish that story had been included. Betcha college students in 1943 knew a heck of a lot more history that today's lot.

When I realized the story had legs and would continue for several days I wished I had saved that first story too. See page 11 tomorrow for a related article and there will be one or two others besides. There will be a piece from News of the Week in Review next Sunday (or Thursday, if you insist) and at some point the Times reproduced the controversial history test. I saved that also, so we can match our mighty brains against those of the college kids of 70 years ago.
