Kudos to UNSW's Faculty Of Arts And Social Sciences for organising the public lecture "American Empire - Past, Present & Future: The Uses Of History" by Professor Ian Tyrrell. Erudite and witty, broad and deep in scope; a gloriously overwhelming data dump and perfect example of why I pine for the academic life. I've no intention of mangling the central argument here. I just hope the important parts soaked into my skull sponge as easily as the complimentary reds did during refreshments.
