An essay by Isaac Asimov, who might have written a book or two, I can't remember for sure.

Star Spangled Banner

R.I.P., Dr. Asimov.

I've read a fair amount of Dr. Asimov's work--& he never fails to entertain, educate, & elevate. This piece was new to me & I'm glad I read it, & thank you for posting it.

Like most Americans, I know the National Anthem--but don't. ("You're a bit dodgy on the middle bits, I've noticed." --says the British comedian Eddie Izzard--or words to that effect.)
