...Postholing." Nonetheless, E.S.I.'s innovators cannot help improving the dead-fact history taught in so many U.S. schools, teaching that ignores the new insights of anthropology, sociology, economics, psychology. Last summer, E.S.I, scholars in such fields met to mull ideas that boil down to one main approach: use all the new scholarly tools for probing deeply ("postholing") into one specific situation, rather than skimming over great hunks of history at a time. As M.I.T. Historian Elting Morison, editor of Theodore Roosevelt's letters and a key E.S.I. scholar, put it: "It may be that a student can learn...

...tower separated, and soon he reported "all systems green and go." Then he settled down to cheerful, competent and dutiful space flying. He watched the instruments closely and talked with each control station as he passed near it. Like the other astronauts, Schirra ran into trouble with the water boil-off system of his space suit, and its temperature became so high on the first orbit that some thought was given to aborting the flight. But Schirra quickly got the suit's temperature down by manipulating its controls, later announced: "It's not worth even discussing any more...
