I like the detour that was taken about Washington and Lincoln and the
cherry tree.  Why are the perpetrators always remembered?  Who owned the
cherry tree and why have they been forgotten?  (Was it the Murphy family
whose cow created a conflagation?)  Victims, it seems, are always
forgotten.  That probably applies to the victims of "authentic" race
cars.  FWIW.  Society remembers the strong, rich, and inventive,  not
the victims.
