The new library is slowly com-
ing into being. Our thanks to
Dental, Marine Barracks and Comm-
Sta for removing the old ceiling
and cleaning the place up.
Recent additions to the
library include "Those Damned
Rebels," a recreation o f the
American Revolution—from the
British point of view. Michael
Pearson offers this new inter-
pretation to the revolutionary
events from the Boston Tea Party
to the day in 1785 when our first
ambassador presented his cre-
dentials to George III.
"The Life of Benjamin Ban-
neker," by Silvio A. Badini, is a
new book that is important in
three fields—history of science,
black studies and American his-
tory. Banneker, a free Negro
tobacco planter, taught himself
athematics and astronomy late in
ife. His calculations were used
'n almanacs; he also helped sur-
vey the District of Columbia.
