While we still have 2007 to get past (with extremely little publicity in
the Washington area for it), I wonder if anyone has given any thought to
2011 and the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War/War
Between the States/etc.? Will it rival the centennial in the 1960s?
Something to put on one's calendar!
