Partly its genesis and partly the kinds of questions that arose, which for me, gave the book a kind of larger scope than i had originally intended. The quotations that are in the book, the slogans and catchphrases, up until 1955 were easy for me to remember because i am a child of the forties. That is what i learned in school. That is how we learned history in school. Either the books that we took out of the library in fourth or fifth grade, or the way history was taught.
