It has gotten so when you mention May 4 to people it doesn't have any significance, unless maybe they are residents of Kent, Ohio. That is the date, of course, of the Kent State shootings of 1970 in which National Guardsmen opened fire on student protesters, killing four and wounding nine. The acute memory of this incident, however, is now beginning to fade in the larger public consciousness, mostly due to more recent events of great magnitude such as Nixon's resignation, the Tonya Harding scandal, OJ's low-speed chase, and American Idol.
It is now widely believed that it wasn't actually members of the Ohio National Guard who fired their weapons at the students, but TERRORISTS posing as guardsmen, whose motive was to initiate full scale revolution.
