    OK, not really. We don't feel like rehashing Spec's summary of recent brouhahas, which is a rehash of last year's article on the subject (plus the Minuteman thing, which prompted this must-read). But they missed the older ones, which are sort of important to understanding everything that comes after. Ancient History (1968)
