I think this line of conversation is very informative. I am not clear on the history that people accept, though. Who are these people? I had a student tell me the other day that I recruit students (for a seminar committee that I chair) on the basis of affirmative action rather than on the basis of individual merit. Now, have *these* people accepted history, do you think? Isn't this enough fact based information? Gloria Monti Yale University
