It's lucky. We're connected to history.

The warnings were generally disregarded. It's like warnings today - there are so many of them, they're disregarded.

I never saw anything other than a devoted couple.

I started at the bottom. And that's when Larry Townsend was making history. I was working downstairs, writing (food stamp) contracts for him.

I felt entangled now: this March, this South, this war, history. History could not possibly let the South get away with slavery; history would not possibly let us get away with what we were doing to the South. Somehow or other, we'd both have to pay.

By its very nature, history is always a one-sided account.
