[Ilf] May Highlights

[Carole Bos]

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").
