        I was born while Sputnik was orbiting the Earth. Although I grew rather large, I was born small and our neighbor nicknamed me Sputnik.

        I saw Sputnik fly overhead one night in Spokane, WA when I was 5 years old. It was a remarkable event that ushered in a remarkable era.

        @BeschlossDC announcers on MSNBC call the LV shooting the deadliest in modern US history. Are there ones in our history?
