Chapter 13 - Postscript & Bibliography

While I was trying to figure out how to end this article I came across the following quotation in the "Coffee Games" insert of an abandoned tabloid at a local Chinese takeout restaurant - a decidedly non-scholarly publication. Nonetheless, because of my disappointment in the reliance on secondary sources and the lack of systematic footnotes that I found in my own research I think that it has more than an element of "academic" truth to it.

"History does not repeat itself, - historians merely repeat each other."
