Banality and Enigma.

Hollinger, David A.

Journal of American History, v81 n3 p1152-56 Dec 1994

Criticizes a survey of historians as an exercise in banality. Asserts that only 1 of every 10 historians who received the survey answered and returned it. Concludes that the Organization of American Historians should forget the survey and focus its attention on matters of U.S. history. (CFR)
