(Excerpted with permission from Dr. Woods’s daily email.) Sure enough, a YouGov poll taken in late 2016 confirmed my suspicion. Some 42% of millennials have no idea who Mao Tse-Tung was. For comparison, I’m pretty sure they all know who Hitler was. Somehow Mao never hit their radar screens. Ever heard of V.I. Lenin? One-third of millennials haven’t.

Palm Beach – A serious curse on the Democratic Republic of Korea (North Korea or the DPRK) for apparently murdering one of my schoolmates. Very bad form, Pyongyang!
