Wow. Thank you so much for these links, especially the Oral History one.
I remember what a horrible time that was, and being surprised that The Onion addressed it head on, so soon after it had happened. I remember appreciating the tone of the issue, and being impressed that they got it just right.
I’m glad so many others appreciated it, too. I didn’t realize that issue was so highly regarded. The writers deserve every bit of credit and praise they’ve gotten.
They really deserved that Pulitzer, but oh well.
