It tells volumes about how abysmal public education in general and collegiate journalism curricula in particular are when a piece like this could possibly be written with an assumption that there would be people reading it with so little knowledge of the second world War as to be clueless about the Doolittle raids.

I though you were going to talk about the spelling and grammar in the story. Did you know, for example, that sixteen B-25’s launched from the _desk_ of the USS Hornet???
