During April we remember the first anniversary of the Virginia Tech
shootings and the fortieth anniversary of Dr. King's assassination.  In
addition, we recall other world events:  The sinking of the Titanic, the
1906 San Francisco earthquake, the beginning of the Underground Railroad
and the successful recovery of Apollo 13.  Learn the details of those,
and other events, in this summary of April Highlights.
