History provides an antidote to cynicism about the past.

It may be that the seemingly intrinsic attraction that past time has for me is merely a desire for escapism, as I look out at the nation and world with little optimism.

The Court's majority holds that the Establishment Clause is no bar to Ohio's payment of tuition at private religious elementary and middle schools under a scheme that systematically provides tax money to support the schools' religious missions.

It is a visible monument to past history and heroics on part of the keepers.

It sort of erases a part of the past. You no longer have that visual history.

What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible.
