But how did the Good War become good, and what aspects of it had to be suppressed to qualify it for that title? Three scholars attempted to answer that question at a symposium March 9 titled \"Cultural Impacts of World War II.\" The event was sponsored by the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History and was part of the center's 2006-07 workshop on \"Cultural Reverberations of Modern War.\""}
