I remember years ago, one of the original cnn anchors, named Reed Collins, I believe, once said something interesting -- that even history has its rush hours. That was back when the Berlin Wall was coming down.
It appears we're living during another one of history's rush hours.
I'm sure in 1969 fresh from the riots and when Camille hit during the Vietnam war it felt this way

Well, Katrina alone is enough of a piece of history to cause a rush; but, please let's keep our perspective. I heard on NPR yesterday that the number one story for several days right up to Katrina's arrival at New Orleans doorstep was about that Cindy somebody in Crawford, TX. Other than the hurricane, the pace just isn't that dizzying.
However if you meant to extend the time frame to back to Easter we did have Terry Schiavo, the death of John Paul the Great (and he WILL be know in Eternity as one of the 5 or 6 Greatest), and the subsequent elevation of the Conservative Watchdog as the new pope. Hmm...you may be on to something after all.
