Partly in its genesis, hardly the kind of questions that arose, which for me, gave the book a kind of larger scope than i had originally intended. The quotations in the book, the slogans and catch phrases, up until 1955, were easy for me to remember. Because im a child of the 40s and thats what i learned in school. And thats how we learned history in school. Either the books we took out of the library in fourth and fifth grade or the way history was taught. But when i got to graduate school in the 60s, i discovered that some of my fellow students who were, who came from overseas, would come to me periodically and said who is this joe and why should he say it aint so .
