History gives a skewered idea of what men do. When I go out on this nice
sunny day I do not intend to revolutionize technology, cure epidemics,
invade Poland, or engage in any holocausts or international hostilities.
I might go into town later on and I'm going out for tea tonight, but that
is not HisTory. That is why I think the study of Hiztory has not yet
begun.
