From Scott's Antarctic Expedition in 1912, to the attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001, it charts watersheds such as two World Wars as well as the ebbs and flows of popular culture. It includes Sound bites of 2002-3.
Gathers together the brightest and wittiest thoughts of the 20th and 21st centuries..There's good fun to be found here. The Times
