The emergence of a direction of time in statistical mechanics from an
underlying time-reversal-invariant dynamics is explained by examining a simple
model. The manner in which time-reversal symmetry is preserved and the role of
initial conditions are emphasized. An extension of the model to finite
temperatures is also discussed.
