“‘I get a lot of
students who are interested in political and social history, and they
all have the sense that of all the decades they missed, the ‘60s was
the coolest,’ says John Platoff, a professor of music at Trinity
College in Hartford, Conn., who teaches a popular course called “The
Beatles and the Sixties.” He reports that ‘there continues to be a
regular influx of students who at the very least know 30 [Beatles]
songs and could sing them right off to you. Even those that know the
least [about the band] still know a few songs.’”

the Beatles Still Matter?” Entertainment Weekly, February 13, 2004
“‘Cities that
“got it” in the 1990s worked on fixing the basics: streets and

city of Hartford, Conn., which made Trinity College the center of its
revitalization campaign.”

“This is the
first opportunity we’ve had to get an insider’s view, over a long
period of time, of ways that the country has dealt with
counterterrorism, and he’s one voice. We need more voices to talk
about that situation so we get a better picture of what really went
on.”
