I'll have to check that one out. My oldest sister was just heading to U of M for her freshman year when those were happening.
I'm reading Catastrophe by David Keys. Someone mentioned it in an earlier thread. Apparently, around 535-6 AD something terrible happened and the history of the world was changed. I won't find out what until the end of the book, but the suspense is killing me.;)
Helen Thomas was born - sorry for the spoiler.
