Reading a 1939 article about a archival collection I'm about to dig into today: "Their [love] letters, still preserved in the New York Historical Society, may be consulted by the serious student, or by the sentimental busybody who looks like a serious student."

WHICH, pray tell, am I??

Cory Booker: "I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America."

Historians, crawling back into daylight from the depths of despair: "Did somebody somewhere ask for some wretched truth?"
