When two historians start talking, the conversation can skip across centuries like two little girls playing hopscotch.

If Rod Serling were alive, he would say, “Consider if you will, two historians who looked into the Mirror of Time [pause] and saw the Future.” Or perhaps one of those little girls playing hopscotch will someday grow up to be Snow White, and Lucille La Verne is the evil queen looking into that Mirror in 1937. You’ve seen the movie. Say it with me, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall…” [pause, followed by four notes stair-stepping downward in a minor key]
