Forces of Good: 2, Forces of Evil: 0

Of somewhat less importance, at least temporally, but in what can only be called a similar conquering of good over evil, I have noticed that the New York Times' daily email alerts now have the"quotation of the day." Until very recently, that used to be the"quote of the day." I remember clearly a moment in Brian Duchin's Modern US History seminar at Williams when I said something about a"quote." He corrected me on the spot, telling me"'Quote' is a verb. 'Quotation' is a noun." I felt like an ass, as I should have (and I wrote that admonishing quotation on my folder). And since that moment, I have always used"quotation" as the noun that it is.
