[Pictured: Bust of Winston Churchill.] Columbia University is in the news again. And not just because their president finally resigned.

George Orwell wrote in his classic novel, 1984: “Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” So, there’s a battle over history.

Topic: The Attempted Assassination of Trump. The attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump was one of the remarkable events of our time.
