Ah! There may be where the "rub" rests upon "history's" skin. By who's "full 
an account of the past" and how and in what manner, style, or current 
popularity? We know so little from our own personal experience and 
observation; but, "virtual world" frog dissection, indeed, does go a long 
way in replacing the real thing. However much, as the "obligation" exists; 
so also does the "subjectivity-objectivity tussle".

The report is: Temple University does not cover Vietnam (apparently - 
casually observed - not found by the preponderance of any other evidence). 
That's about as objective as it gets. Subjectively: Boundless.

Regards, Ray
