The past is never dead, wrote William Faulkner, the American south's
most famous literary son. "It's not even past." And so on Saturday in
Greensboro, North Carolina, a truth and reconciliation commission
started the painful process of revisiting a bloody episode in the
town's history in the hope that it can make more sense of the present.
