It looks like it was a regular newspaper.

I had no idea that any newspaper reported the assassination that way.

Nice catch.

How kind, lol

Pat,

 

I know.

If I understand that right, going through the State Archives would cost you $20.00 to find out what issue that article is in, and another $8.00 for a photocopy of the article.

 

The following is obviously a typographical error, but it made me laugh.

"Welch, West Virginia is located in McDowell County. Zip codes in Welch, WV include 24801. The median home price in Welch is $10 which is roughly $10/per square foot. More Welch information. "

:-)

The population of Welch was 2,406 people in the last census.

Anyone notice the "Call Girls Burning Issue In Congress"?

David,

 

Yeah, and did you notice the "Honest John" headline too?

"The MGR-1 Honest John rocket was the first nuclear-capable surface-to-surface rocket in the United States arsenal. "

 

The Cloverleaf Exercises trained with Honest Johns.

Green Door Mystery Solved By Nat. Guard Two Texas National Guard divisions, the 49th Armored Division -- which has a unit in Irving and the 36th Infantry, both learned what was behind the "green door" in Houston this weekend. But mum is the word. The green door just happened to be the color scheme of barracks at Ellington Air Force Base at Houston where one of the U. S. Army’s largest map maneuvers — Exercise Cloverleaf — was field under tight security precautions to train more than 1,000 staff officers and key enlisted men of the National Guard and Army Reserve from a five - state area. The three - day "paper- war" problem, conducted over two weekend periods, provided a realistic command post exercise for both of Texas* National Guard divisions, with the theoretical tactical problems giving commanders and their staffs training in mobile, dispersed operations under conditions of extensive nuclear warfare.

1963.

Not to put too fine a point on it...  the talk of using a very small, directed nuclear device to take down the twin towers and turn all the water in the concrete to stream, in turn changing concrete into dust...  hinges on the US Govt having weapons that are years ahead of their "public" time.

I think we saw the use of a few of them back then... but don't want to get into a discussion here about that....  for that rocket to be nuclear capable in '63 there must have been advancements in miniaturization of the nuclear war head - again, years ahead of world knowledge.

Just a thought...  thanks for picking up the tangent Steve...

:cheers
