Going back in time with the 104 page Final Edition of the Daily News for Thursday, Aug. 14, 1969, serves as a reminder that multiple news stories were in the headlines concurrently. Astro Alley reads the banner on the front page, spotlighting the Astronaut’s ticker tape parade down Broadway after their successful moon landing and return to earth.
Along with the 12 pages of stories and pictures of the lunar astronauts is coverage of the Sharon Tate murders and funeral (before the link to the Manson family was discovered), Ted Kennedy and the days following the Chappaquiddick tragedy, events occurring in India when Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister, and in Israel with Golda Meir as Premier.
There are also the sports pages, especially baseball coverage. At this date in August, the Mets were still 9 games behind the league leading Chicago Cubs, and yet to erupt into their big run for the pennant, and their eventual World Series win over the Baltimore Orioles.
Finally, if you like those vintage advertisements, they are plentiful in this Daily News. There are full page department store ads – Macy’s, Sachs, Gimbel’s, Wannamaker’s, Mays, for example. Grocery store ads and companies like Singer sewing machines, Kellogg’s, Firestone, Goodyear and many more. Paper is brown with age wear, and some dog-ears, but over-all in terrific vintage condition. |
