...Just contrast America 100 years after the end of the Civil War with German progress of the last two decades. Growing up in Pennsylvania in the 1950s, I knew of those North vs. South prejudices and the status of African Americans and other minorities. It was dangerous to travel in certain southern states - just ask any civil rights activist.

"Some of the work confronting us will...
...fake flushing noise to disguise that of urination, is installed in virtually every public restroom. Nevertheless, ANA has apparently decided to spare its non-Japanese-speaking customers the potential embarrassment of preboarding potty talk. Though the Japanese-language announcement video at the gate for domestic departures politely advises travelers to use the bathroom before boarding, the English announcement makes no such suggestion. The English video does encourage passengers to "think about the earth and the sky above," saying that a lighter aircraft means less carbon dioxide emission, but it stops short of suggesting a preboard...
