As people name the first big news story they recall, Sen. Orrin Hatch steps in to make us feel not so old

The tweet really took off, but aside from the answers just being interesting, they help paint of picture of today’s working journalists and just how old they are. This editor, for one, is feeling really, really old, which is why Sen. Orrin Hatch’s office once again deserves special mention.

Pardon us getting all sentimental, but it really is sad to think so many could have lived through so much together and yet ended up so fractured as a nation.
