Toynbee

The name sticks out because it's so uncommon and I've always loved Bradbury, though I wouldn't consider this particular story to be one of my favorites.

    Fascinating - I believe I've heard of the story, but never read it or any summaries of it.

    Based on the referenced historian, perhaps I am that traveler, as this was many years before I was born.


    But it cannot be, for I would never voluntarily allow it to be capitalized ...
