Seventy years ago on Wednesday, one of the world's great paradises became one of the world's most hellish flashpoints.

Even if you've been to Oahu's Pearl Harbor, paid your respects and thought you had seen it all, think again. The $56-million Pearl Harbor Visitor Center is just a year old, there's a new audio tour with narration by actress Jamie Lee Curtis, and a refurbished Arizona Memorial will debut on May 28, Memorial Day, the 50th anniversary of the opening of the monument.
