How to use rapidity in a sentence?

1. Afia Salam:

   The rapidity of these events is increasing and our response is not keeping pace, we are being reactive to individual events. Strategies need to be put in place.

2. William Richardson Davie:

   So low and hopeless are the finances of the United States, that, the year before last Congress was obliged to borrow money even, to pay the interest of the principal which we had borrowed before. This wretched resource of turning interest into principal, is the most humiliating and disgraceful measure that a nation could take, and approximates with rapidity to absolute ruin: Yet it is the inevitable and certain consequence of such a system as the existing Confederation.
