When asked what he and the Democratic Party had done to end the war in the past, Bayh said, "Not enough. Hindsight is better than foresight, but nobody's hands are clean." Bayh traced responsibility for the war to the Senate's passage of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1965 when "we gave the President all the power he could need...
...rock's new solo poets is a natural extension. Often they are talented offshoots from famous groups, the most notable examples being all four Beatles. Characteristically, they make the new sound but leave explanations to musicologists and sociologists. Occasionally, however, one will fall prey to the seductions of historic hindsight.

On the London Stock...
...dominating both major party conventions in 1924, yet looking back on it, we can see that it lost half its membership in 1925, and was practically dead by 1926. No one in 1924 would have possibly predicted such a rapid decline, and even now with the benefit of hindsight, it is hard to tell why the people who moved to join from 1920-1924 dropped it so totally in 1925-1926, (Joe) McCarthyism was basically a four year phenomenon, 1950-1954. The famous Berkeley anthropologist, Alfred Krocher, studied the changes in the length of skirts for a 100 year period...
