		Wallace scrutinizes the actual plans for the exhibit and investigates the ways in which the controversy drew in historians, veterans, the media, and the general public.
		Wallace provides an animated inquiry into history as a hall of distorting mirrors, with particular attention to those who benefit and those who are deceived.

		Richard Hallion, the Air Force Historian, called it "a great script." He joined with his military historian colleague Herman Wolk in pronouncing it "a most impressive piece of work, comprehensive and dramatic, obviously based upon a great deal of sound research, primary and secondary," in need only of a "bit of 'tweaking'".
		Christina Jeffrey, not an historian at all, but an Associate Professor of Political Science at Kennesaw State University who had helped him launch his course, was given the task of helping "in reestablishing the legitimacy of history." "History" received a setback on January 9 when Gingrich abruptly fired Jeffrey.

	Amazon.de: Mickey Mouse History and Other Essays on American Memory: The Politics of Public Memory (Critical ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Whether his subject is multimillion dollar theme parks owned by powerful corporations, urban museums, or television docudramas, Mike Wallace shows how their depictions of history are shaped by assumptions about which pasts are worth saving, whose stories are worth telling, what gets left out, and who is authorized to make the decisions.
		Author note: Mike Wallace is Professor of History at John Jay College, City University of New York.
		Mike Wallace does raise some interesting questions in his book, but it must be noted that while he comments on what museums SHOULD do (in his not-so-humble opinion), he is a tenured professor who never has to face the realities of day-to-day museum operation.

	TigerHawk
		UPDATE (from TigerHawk): Mike Wallace, we should all recall, quite famously and explicitly takes the position that he is a journalist first, before he is an American.
		Wallace had the stones to make this claim (back in 1989) in front of a Marine colonel, who clarified the issue (as Marines are wont to do) for the folks at home:
		Wallace is one of a long line of pay-as-you-go media whores willing to flack for America's enemies, just to appear on the screen with them, and offer some vaporous opinions.

		But Mike Barnicle, who is reportedly paid more than $200,000 annually to write three 700-word columns a week, actually got up and promised to stop being lazy.
		Indeed, the most amazing aspect of the Mike Barnicle story is that he wasn't fired on any number of occasions -- beginning with one of his very first columns -- for all manner of professional malpractice.
		And Mike Barnicle went to work, stoking the flames of racial anger in the name of exonerating the cops, who employed his brother, Paul, and who had provided him with so many juicy tidbits over the years.

		It seemed like a contribution a historian could make, setting discussions about the future in the context of the city's past, and particularly the relevance of the New Deal, whose accomplishments seem to have been forgotten, if not deliberately stubbed out by the reigning powers that be.
		I do like the current master plan, in that it definitely envisions proceeding in stages, with most office space slotted for a dim future and the up front concentration devoted to memorializing.
		Mike, I tend to disagree with your feelings that 12 million square feet of office space should not be placed on the site.

		Read the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Mike Wallace's new book, "A New Deal for New York" (Bell and Weiland), for a reminder of what a true optimist can envision.
		Wallace (not to be confused with the CBS News correspondent) is a dedicated government man, and there is a bit of fantasy in the book.
		But he is also a writer with a new vision for a grief-torn city — of new subway lines and river crossings, new parks and subsidized housing, revitalized manufacturing and diversified communities, and a restored faith in city life itself.
