Some call it the "take-home". Others call it the
"take-away". Same thing. It means what you learned and retained from
the class, the lecture, the video, etc.
Barry, as avid a scholar of World War II and beyond as he can arrange to
get, is grateful to Charles Krauthammer of Fox News (again!) for pointing
something out on this day the world lost former British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher that Barry always had wrong.
Barry always assumed Britain declined after that war because Britain had
stood alone against Nazi might and borne the brutal brunt of the air blitz and
was exhausted in victory. Wrong! Britain declined because of British
socialism, not military exhaustion. If
that, and no other point is made, Barry will write "Mission
Accomplished" on this evening's broadcast!
