I once had a student ask me, "If there was a World War
II, there must have been a World War I, right? What
was that?"

But then I know highly intelligent, educated,
politically active people who in the 1980s did not
know how many Vietnams there were -- they thought
there were still two. ("Just one,I said -- that was
what the war was about.")
