I subscribe to the ‘Ohio in 1895 Theory of History,’ so named, by me, for the obscure but illuminating fact that in 1895, in Ohio, there were just two automobiles—and they collided. The moral of the human story is that things go wrong more often than they go right because there are so many more ways to go wrong.
 George F. Will, “Commencement at Duke” (The American Scholar, Autumn 1991)
