Thursday, January 29, 2004 History varies with the teller - Hindustan Times "Founded by people who believed they were breaking free of musty old European traditions, America has always had an awkward relationship with history. Henry Ford, the wealthy, powerful, American, made most famous for creating the modern automobile industry, would live to regret something he once said about history in a magazine interview: 'History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.' " |
