Arthur M. Schlesinger junior, historian and liberal, died on February 28th, aged 89.
A great liberal mind with a wit to boot. My highschool friends will remember having used his textbook in our American History class.
My favorite quote - In the past, when liberalism had resolved the crisis and restored tranquillity, conservatism has recovered power by the laws of political gravity; then it makes a new botch of things, and liberalism again must take over in the name of the nation.
