The Tide Turns Views
The title of this article is misleading unfortunately. When it says the tide turns quickly for public transportation it makes it sound like support is growing for public transportation which would be good news. Perhaps the article should have been titled the tide turns quickly against public transportation. That would have been a more accurate title for this article. Otherwise the article is well written - this is bad news though obviously for public transit.
Saratoga: The Tide Turns on the Frontier (National Park Service) You are standing in an open field, shoulder to shoulder with your regiment. The British line is 50 yards away. They slowly raise their muskets and aim directly at you and your comrades. The thunder of the volley is deafening, the choking smoke stinks of sulphur. Hundreds of pieces of lead whistle as they pass over your head, by your side, and into your ranks. Men fall all around you, dead and wounded. Confusion, fear, and chaos set in. You can not understand your officers' commands in the confusion. You and the other survivors of the volley reform to return the fire to the enemy. Out of this kind of chaos, soldiers of the Continental Army forged a victory over professional British and German soldiers near Saratoga, New York. The two battles fought here in autumn of 1777 changed the course of the American Revolution and insured the independence of the former British colonies that became the United States of America.
