[LM_NET] May Highlights

[Carole Bos <bosc@GVSU.EDU>]

During May we remember the Kent State shootings, Cinco de Mayo and the sinking of 
Lusitania.  In addition, we recall other world events:  The explosion of Hindenburg 
(as it landed in New Jersey), Victory in Europe (commemorated on V-E Day) and the 
capture of an Enigma machine from U-110 (which helped to break the famous German 
code).  Learn the details of those, and other events, in this summary of May 
Highlights.  http://www.awesomestories.com/Newsletters/May.08.htm  

Also provided are an index of videos (200 are summarized and linked in context), 
"Voices from Virginia Tech" (a class-created story by high school sophomores) and 
information about the Electoral College (as background for the upcoming HBO film 
"Recount").
