How did we come to this pass? The only way to answer that question is to go back a couple of thousand years and tell the story from the beginning, '\" which is just what Yagoda does in this \"excellent\" history (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBen Yagoda is a journalism professor at the University of Delaware.
