Well the humore to be found in humorless Cal is enough to fill up another page of history sneaked in. Whether or not we are entering a 'Depresdsion' now (we're certanly entering a hell of a recession*), more people ought to be acquainted with Coolidge and _his_ part (greater than Hoover's?) in contributing to that early big recession. It will be a year or two before we know whether we're facing a depression or not, during that period people will continue to be a bit or more than a bit scared, and scared people are more apt, I would guess, to be willing to take some history in their diet if it isn't too heavy.
