You really don't like me, do you? Never miss an opportunity to be nasty. Please, your definition defining Bescheloss was unnecessary. He is a noted historian just like Meacham, Goodwin and Chernow just to name a few. My point was that I was unaware he did the history of federal agencies. Did you even take the time to look at what his background was? The second panel, “The Legacy of the SEC” spotlighted historian Michael Beschloss; legal scholar, author, and expert on the SEC https://www.sec.gov/opa/sec-celebrated-its-90th-style Apparently the SEC did or they wouldn't have invited him to speak. My post had nothing to do with you personally or being nasty. I was defending a noted historian who I am familiar with as well as the other 3.
