Looking Back on 2007
Say you were offered the option to go forward or backward in a time machine. Which would you choose?
If science fiction is any indication, most people would leap ahead to find out what the world will be like at some future time. Me? I'd go back: to the Last Supper, to Ludwig Beethoven's Vienna, to the birth of my firstborn. I'm fascinated by what has happened and by the changes wrought. Whereas others blow horns and throw confetti, kissing strangers and drinking too much to welcome the new year, I tend quietly to look to the past.
