    “It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
    —Marie Winn (20th century)

    “Eyes spiritualised by death can judge,
    I cannot, but I am not content.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    —Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
