As I returned to my file drawer of unpublished writings
after a day in New York having meetings at Columbia, I came across an extended
discussion, written I know not how many decades ago, about the epistemological questions
posed by the writing of historiographical narratives. I had quite forgotten that I had written
this, but as I read through it, I reflected that these are issues in which I
have been interested for sixty years. Over
the next day or two, I am going to reconstruct some of my thoughts in one or
two extended posts. Meanwhile, I await
the reports of the voting now going on in Alabama. This could be big.
It certainly was big. A ray of hope.
