...America's largest textbook buyers, the Longhorn State has a good deal of sway over what is peddled to schools nationwide. And while Napoléon may have maintained that "history is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon," getting Texans to come together on the past may prove to be their Waterloo...
...Abilene - terminus of the great longhorn cattle drives, boyhood home of Dwight D. Eisenhower - fought back. Some folks anyway.

In fact, to hear him talk, the former New York City mayor can hardly tell the two places apart. Ducking into Longhorn Saddlery and Western Wear in Fort Dodge to pick up some cowboy shirts for himself (extra large) and his designer-loving missus (small), Giuliani noted, "They had bull riding this year in Madison Square Garden." At a town-hall forum held at Northern Iowa Area Community College (NIACC), he marveled...
