I’ve spent most of my waking hours teaching about the Vietnam War, researching the Vietnam War, and publishing about the Vietnam War. It hasn’t bored me. It’s endlessly controversial. That’s why it’s my favorite class to teach, and it keeps getting better every year. I’ve been extraordinarily lucky that a number of veterans have very graciously agreed to come in and talk about their experiences in Vietnam. And the students always say that that’s the highlight of the class.We’re at a unique moment right now where, on one hand, we’re becoming more interconnected, more interdependent than ever. Nations have manifold connections to other nations—economically, culturally. But at the same time, the institutions that were set up mostly in the wake of World War II, like NATO, the United Nations, and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, are breaking down. So it’s an unusually unstable and unprecedented period in world history, and you really need to know something about international relations in order to understand what’s happening now and to fully discharge your duties as a responsible citizen of a democracy.

So we may instead ask when did the apology start meaning “I’m sorry”?That appears to have begun at the end of the 16th century, and we may blame Shakespeare for this (at least until we discover someone else who has used this word loosely before him). Most dictionaries today will not provide the earliest known date that a specific sense of a word appeared, but the Oxford English Dictionary does, and they currently have a line from Richard III: “My Lord, there needs no such apologie.”Shakespeare is renowned as a creator of new words, although he is often mistakenly given credit for coining elements of our vocabulary that already existed. Yet even though he did not invent most of the words which he is purported to have invented, he still was remarkably inventive with his language. He would play with the English language, stretching it and assigning new meanings to existing words with astonishing aplomb and daring.
