  1. I could listen to Dr. Starkey talk about history all day long, and I always learn something. The modern UK politics go right over this American’s head, so I skip those topics. I don’t follow politics even in my own country.

  2. The “Great Man” theory of history might be unpopular nowadays, but it’s largely true. Until very recently, history was made by great, powerful, and largely aristocratic, men, like it or not. We little people, especially women, never had the access to, wealth for or education to make history in the past. The power of rhetoric, that is, the power to argue constructively and above all, to persuade, is always important and always will be. Without the cooperation of others, nothing important can ever get done.
