1. The title of JohnTorpey's excellent article is a quote from the ninth of Walter Benjamin's "Theses on the Philosophy of History:"This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing in from Paradise.
