Abstract
With my eyes still dazzled by the fireworks of our Bicentennial Fourth, my spirits lifted by the beauty and majesty of the tall ships, my mind reassured by the spontaneity, enthusiasm, and renewed sense of optimism of the celebrations all over the country, and my patriotism rekindled, I would like to reflect this evening in a rather personal way on the American experiment. I especially want to recall that formative period, from Revolution to Constitution, to review the record of it, and to pay tribute to its curators and to the scholar-editors who are dedicating their lives to giving the world complete documentation of it. I want also to touch on recent influences on the records of our country and to contemplate briefly the future.
