You dwell on the fact that someone made a mistake representing history.

I'll rejoice in the fact that the West eliminated its reliance on slavery centuries ago, while Islam shows no signs of of even acknowleging that the practice is still central to its culture.

I recently got a letter from an elderly cousin who mentioned her father-in-law who had been a prisoner at Andersonville.

It's still news!
