...country has not let pass the occasion of the Bicentennial without a reassessment of what was achieved through her association and friendship with the U.S. in several periods of her more recent history.

Hough himself deftly ruminates on eras and how they end. Not large, dramatic chunks of history that close with a bang, noticeable to the world, but odd personal eras, those less obtrusive small changes that in retrospect loom large in the heart.
