Wikipedia is your friend.


A good Western Civ course in 10th grade is an even better friend.

Plato rightly feared that writing would lead to much forgetting—I’d love to hear his reflections on the net.

I had good history classes, and have done a lot of reading on the subject since - but unfortunately, like most people, my memory is not eidetic. Fifty years later, Wikipedia is a good friend and a necessary support tool for an aging memory that can't be sure whether Mr. Gash in 8th-grade World History mumbled "1334" or "1376."

Regards,
