Berkeley is showing it on a huge projector screen in front of our administrative building (the place you see all the famous protest pictures)

Fucking hell it's going to be a bitch getting to class.

ROFL. Creeping socialism is knocking on the door, isn't it?

I thought McCarthyism went out in the 60s?

For God's sake, we have to abolish this media-induced habit of declaring events which have not happened yet "history."

moltke its described as "history in the making" or "a historical moment", because no matter what happens today, it is a moment that will be mentioned in future historybooks..

In the 19th century, a great statesman passed into History after his death. In the 20th century they began to pass into History during his lifetime, but apparently in the 21st they pass into history before they do anything. The entire purpose of history is to permit us a clearer interpretation of events seen in retrospect, gathering the collected wisdom of the ages, in preference to the come-and-go fads of the moment.

The irony in this, and many other such "historical" moments is that the people who are loudest in their enthusiasms to witness history are not much interested in history.
