Evans Lib rary dealing entirely with the falsification and omission of facts and people in the history of Russia. They are "Rewriting Russian History/' by Cyril Black, and "The Writing of His tory in the Soviet Union," by Anatole G . Mazour. Well, it couldn't happen in the United States. Couldn't? Dunning says rewriting his tory is a constant problem in ev ery culture. History is written based on the data that's avail able, he says. That means what survived. For example, when the Spa niards took over the New World they destroyed almost all ex isting records to eliminate com petition from the Aztecs and other inhabitants of the land, Dunning says. He says that in the United States there are more subtle ways of rewriting history than the actual manipulation of data. When the press continually portrays the United States as the good guy and the Soviet Union as the bad guy it shows a cultural prejudice, Dunning says, but history as propaganda is no thing new.

An Indian water- boy becomes involved with British military action in the mountains of Dunning says censorship and the restriction of inquiry is un common in the United States, but it sometimes is difficult to get access to certain informa tion. Dr. Betty Unterberger, his tory professor, says government officials are claiming that more information than ever before is "vital to national security." Unterberger chairs the state historical advisory committee on diplomatic documentation. She said basic research of ev ery kind is hindered by the re cent rigidity. Historians, espe cially, are dependent on govern ment documents for research and writing. The public's right to know should be the predominant fac tor when considering what in formation will be released, she says. Pisani says that in the United States, the changing of history is most evident in high school his tory textbooks where anything unattractive or un-American is left out. The basic purpose of the tex tbooks is to make students bet ter citizens, to promote Amer icanism or certain values, he says. Anything anyone consi dered radical was left out.

A scientist kidnaps a humanoid he helped to create in order to prevent it from being used for military purposes. dents now have never heard of the system of segregation that existed in the South after the Civil War. They also don't know that Abraham Lincoln had essentially the same racist feel ings as the rest of the nation. The great danger in this coun try regarding the changing of history is more the act of omit ting something controversial than simply writing facts out of history, he says. For a long time Indians were portrayed as savages with no rights at all, Pisani says. More recently, they have been por trayed as noble savages. . "Hwe Prize human free dom, he said, "then we should want people to look at the past without blinders on. What we have been is important to what we are now." Pisani says the tradition of questioning, not taking everv- thing at face value, is the most unportant tradition we have.
