...better venue to grab a power-nap (undisturbed) than to peruse Western history. The sourcebook was too often lauded as something more “exciting” than the lectures. Coming after 10a, History 10b is more like a dessert than a hangover, whipping through modernity as fast as 10a covered the old stuff, but with more dexterity.

A candidate’s party affiliation or his opinions are less important to this lonely American society than his ability to make individuals feel familiar...
