History repeats itself says Wes Izzard in 1975
The essay traces events from 1900 through 1926 and forecasts the 1975 outlook, arguing human behavior changes slowly. It highlights Galveston 1900, Boxer Rebellion, Marconi, Wright brothers, San Francisco quake, Titanic, income tax, Prohibition, WWI, and Roswell rocket work, ending with a caution that history will rhyme in the last century quarter.
