Re: RES: [xmca] social memory

Paul,

If he reads the Wineburg paper, he might want to get in touch with Sam (at
Stanford now, I think -- he was at U. Washington - Seattle before), since
he also interviewed members of the "Vietnam generation" as well as their
children, so he might have tips to share re: whether the sequence
matters, etc.

I'm not sure if the order of the interviews matters. I'm also planning to set up a viewing of Kurosawa's "Rashomon" to keep him from jumping to conclusions :)
