Faccia a faccia1967

[first lines]

Professor Brett Fletcher:
I've an announcement to make, and I find it... very painful. I'm unable to... continue this history course. But as you perhaps know, it's not a matter of my own volition. However, the study of history can be suspended... and resumed at any point. Because, though all men must die in time, other men will make history live. And each man can choose his own part in history. We've been forced to choose: when the war between the States declared that we were either Union loyalists or Confederate rebels. You are twenty years old. You will have to choose many times between just and unjust, truth and untruth. And always, the answer is only to be found... within you. And if this small bit of knowledge can help you in the future, then I am truly privileged. For my part in history... will not have been useless. The class is dismissed. Thank you. [students leave]
