B-Z, Berlin, Germany, December 23, 1989 * Berlin Wall falls * Brandenburg Gate opens A great issue on the fall of the Berlin Wall, with a banner headline proclaiming (translated): "Berlin, Rejoice!" The front page photo shows a huge crowd at the Brandenburg Gate, apparently oblivious to the rain & storm of that day, as they prepare to celebrate Christmas without the Wall. Some very nice photos on pages 2-5, two showing restraining gates run over due to the huge, pressing crowd. Tabloid-size, complete in 32 pages, very nice condition.

THE NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, October 24, 1929  Of the several dates of this famous New York City newspaper which reported the events of the stock market crash in late October this was the very first.  The top of the last tow columns on the front page report: "Stocks Off 5 Billion In Severest Break Of Wall St. History". There are one column subheads as well: "Savage Bear Attacks, With Forced Selling of Big Bull Accounts, Almost Paralyzes Market in Last Hour" "181 New Lows Set, Average is Off 6.24" "Adams Express Plunges 96 Points, Day's Record Loss; 2,500,000 Shares Sold in 60 Min. Debacle". The report on the crash carries over to page 37 with a one column head: "Stocks Crash 5 to 7 Billions In Last Hour", plus there is a report headed: "Comments On Wall Street". What is very curious is another article on page 37, datelined Oct. 23, headed: "Stock Advances Not Due to Speculation, Says Fisher" "Holds High Levels Are Justified by Increased Earnings" (see photos). Shows what a difference a day makes. Of the thousands of newspapers in print in the United States in 1929, the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE would rank among the more desired in reporting not just this 1929 crash, but any historic financial report as Wall Street was located in New York City. This is the complete 48 page issue, some minor chipping at the right & bottom margins of the first two leaves touching a few letters (see), some minor tears at the margins, particularly at the edge of the central fold, five small binding holes at the blank spine margin, inked subscription address in the upper right corner. Generally in nice condition as more typically newspapers of this vintage are in quite poor condition.

THE DAILY PICAYUNE, New Orleans, Dec. 19, 1903  The significance of the report within the issue is equaled only by the insignificance of its placement & focus, as this newspaper gives a first report of the first manned flight, an event which would change the world forever and become a defining event of the 20th century. Less than 66 years after the Wright brothers successful flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, man was walking on the moon. Page 15 of this 16 page newspaper contains a report near the bottom of the page which is headed: "MACHINE FLIES" "Successful Trial Trip Near Kitty Hawk, N.C." "Two Six Blade Propellers, Operated by Gasoline Engine, Furnish Motive Power". The full text of the report can be seen in the photos--and is actually longer than most newspaper accounts, which rarely extended beyond one paragraph--includes near the beginning: "A successful trial trip of a flying machine was made yesterday near Kitty Hawk, N.C. by Wilbur and Orville Wright, of Dayton, Ohio. The machine few for three miles...and then gracefully descended to earth at the spot selected by the man in the navigator's car...The machine has no balloon attachment..." with more (see).  Apparently few recognized then how this event would change the world. Complete in 16 pages, some browning or light dirtiness to an upper quadrant of the front page, cleanly loose at the spine, some minor margin wear. Actually in better condition than most newspapers of this vintage, as typically early 20th century issues are exceedingly pulpish and fragile. But this issue must be handled carefully too.

He would be convicted of murder and giving the death sentence on this day. Other news of the day. Some small binding holes along the spine, otherwise in good condition. wikipedia notes: Prominent San Francisco defense attorney Melvin Belli agreed to represent Ruby free of charge. Some observers thought that the case could have been disposed of as a "murder without malice" charge (roughly equivalent to manslaughter), with a maximum prison sentence of five years. Instead, Belli attempted to prove that Ruby was legally insane and had a history of mental illness in his family (the latter being true, as his mother had been committed to a mental hospital years before). On March 14, 1964, Ruby was convicted of murder with malice, for which he received a death sentence.

PIERPONT MORGAN'S CONDITION CRITICAL, IS OFFICIAL REPORT" with subheads and photo of Morgan. Other news of the day including some reporting on the great Dayton flood in Ohio. Usual browning with little margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care. wikipedia notes: John Pierpont Morgan (April 17, 1837 – March 31, 1913) was an American financier, banker and art collector who dominated corporate finance and industrial consolidation during his time. In 1892 Morgan arranged the merger of Edison General Electric and Thompson-Houston Electric Company to form General Electric. After financing the creation of the Federal Steel Company he merged the Carnegie Steel Company and several other steel and iron businesses to form the United States Steel Corporation in 1901. He is widely credited with having saved or rescued the U.S. national economy in general—and the federal government in particular—on two separate occasions. He bequeathed much of his large art collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and to the Wadsworth Atheneum of Hartford, Connecticut. He died in Rome, Italy, in 1913 at the age of 75, leaving his fortune and business to his son, John Pierpont "Jack" Morgan, Jr.

Other news of the day throughout. Usual browning with little margin wear. Should be handled with care. source: wikipedia: The General Slocum worked as a passenger ship, taking people on excursions around New York City. On June 15, 1904, the ship had been chartered for $350 by the St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church in the German district Little Germany, Manhattan. This was an annual rite for the group, which had made the trip for 17 consecutive years. Over 1,300 passengers, mostly women and children, boarded the General Slocum. It was to sail up the East River and then eastward across Long Island Sound to Locust Grove, a picnic site in Eatons Neck, Long Island. The ship got underway at 9:30am. As it was passing East 90th Street, a fire started in a storage compartment in the forward section, possibly caused by a discarded cigarette or match. The first notice of a fire was at 10am - eyewitnesses locate the initial blaze at several locations, including a paint locker filled with flammable liquids or a cabin filled with gasoline. Captain Van Schiack was only notified ten minutes after the fire was discovered - a twelve year old boy had tried to warn him earlier, but was not believed. On board the Slocum, where the Captain has ultimate safety authority, he did not demand that hoses and faulty lifejackets be replaced. The fire hoses fell apart when the crew attempted to put out the fire. Also, the crew had never had a fire drill. Although the ship had lifeboats and life preservers, they were useless. Survivors reported that the life preservers were rotten and fell apart in their hands. The lifeboats were tied up and inaccessible. Desperate mothers placed life jackets on their children and tossed them into the water, only to watch in horror as their children sank instead of floated, due to the condition of the jackets.

He decided to continue his course rather than run the ship aground or stop at a nearby landing. (Van Schaick would later argue he was attempting to prevent the fire from spreading to riverside buildings and oil tanks.) By going into headwinds and failing to immediately ground the vessel, he actually fanned the fire. Highly flammable paint also helped the fire to spread out of control. Some passengers attempted to jump into the river, but the clothing of the day made swimming almost impossible. Many died instantly when the 3-level floors of the overloaded boat collapsed; others were mauled by the still turning paddles.[1] By the time the General Slocum was beached at North Brother Island, just off the Bronx shore, an estimated 1,021 people had been killed by fire or drowning, with 321 survivors. Two of the 30 crewmembers died. The Captain lost sight in one eye due to the fire. Reports indicate that Van Schaick deserted the Slocum as soon as it ran aground, jumping into a nearby tug, along with several crew. Some say his jacket was hardly rumpled.

ALBANY EVENING NEWS, New York, November 28, 1934 * George Baby Face Nelson * Battle of Barrington * Would die the next day of his wounds This 22 page newspaper has a front page one column headlines: "U.S. CAR TAKEN BY 'BABY FACE' FOUND EMPTY", "'Shoot to Kill' Order Given Men After Nelson Kills 2 Federal Officers" and more. Also other related heads and report on Dutch Schultz. (see) Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise in good condition. wikipedia notes: The running machine gun battle between FBI agents and Nelson took place on November 27, 1934 outside of Chicago, in the town of Barrington resulting in the deaths of Special Agents Herman Hollis and Samuel P. Cowley.[8][9] The battle began when Nelson, Helen Gillis, and John Paul Chase were driving down a road and saw a police car driving the opposite direction. Nelson hated police and federal agents and used a list of license plates he had compiled to actively hunt them at every opportunity. He apparently recognized the car and decided to chase them. Once they both stopped, the shootout started. Nelson's wife and Chase used their car for cover. Nelson, however, simply walked towards the agents, reportedly shouting, "I'm gonna kill you sons of bitches!".[citation needed] After the fight was over, Nelson nearly collapsed on the ground from his wounds; he'd been shot 17 times.[10] Gillis and Chase helped Nelson into the car of the two FBI agents, and with Nelson giving directions, Chase drove away from the scene. The next morning, another team of FBI agents was dispatched to the scene to investigate the situation. They found the bodies of the two agents who had been killed in the skirmish the day before. The new team scouted the area for any possible signs of Nelson. Following an anonymous telephone tip, Nelson's body was discovered in a ditch, wrapped in a blanket.[11] The ditch was in front of St. Peter Catholic Cemetery in Skokie, which still exists today. His wife later stated that he had died of his wounds at exactly 8 p.m. She had placed the blanket around his body because, as she said, "Lester always hated to be cold..."

THE RUSSELL DAILY NEWS, Russell, Kansas, April 6, 1968  * Martin Luther King Jr. assassination This 6 page newspaper has front page headlines that include: "Riots Sweep US Cities", "Federal Manhunt Spreads In South for King Assassin" and more with related photo. (see) Other news of the day. Minor spine wear, otherwise in nice condition. wikipedia notes: On March 29, 1968, King went to Memphis, Tennessee in support of the black sanitary public works employees, represented by AFSCME Local 1733, who had been on strike since March 12 for higher wages and better treatment. In one incident, black street repairmen received pay for two hours when they were sent home because of bad weather, but white employees were paid for the full day.[99][100] On April 3, King addressed a rally and delivered his "I've Been to the Mountaintop" address at Mason Temple, the World Headquarters of the Church of God in Christ. King's flight to Memphis had been delayed by a bomb threat against his plane.[101] In the close of the last speech of his career, in reference to the bomb threat, King said the following:     And then I got to Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers? Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.[102] King was booked in room 306 at the Lorraine Motel, owned by Walter Bailey, in Memphis. The Reverend Ralph Abernathy, King's close friend and colleague who was present at the assassination, swore under oath to the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations that King and his entourage stayed at room 306 at the Lorraine Motel so often it was known as the 'King-Abernathy suite.'[103] King was shot at 6:01 p.m. April 4, 1968 while he was standing on the motel's second floor balcony. The bullet entered through his right cheek smashing his jaw and then traveled down his spinal cord before lodging in his shoulder.[104] According to Jesse Jackson, who was present, King's last words on the balcony were to musician Ben Branch, who was scheduled to perform that night at an event King was attending: "Ben, make sure you play Take My Hand, Precious Lord in the meeting tonight. Play it real pretty."[105] Abernathy heard the shot from inside the motel room and ran to the balcony to find King on the floor.[106] The events following the shooting have been disputed, as some people have accused Jackson of exaggerating his response.[107] After emergency surgery, King was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital at 7:05 p.m.[108] According to biographer Taylor Branch, King's autopsy revealed that though only thirty-nine years old, he had the heart of a sixty-year-old,[109] perhaps a result of the stress of thirteen years in the civil rights movement. The assassination led to a nationwide wave of riots in more than 100 cities.[110] Presidential nominee Robert Kennedy was on his way to Indianapolis for a campaign rally when he was informed of King's death. He gave a short yet empowering speech to the gathering of supporters informing them of the tragedy and asking them to continue King's idea of non-violence. On that night, Indianapolis was the only city which did not burn.[111] President Lyndon B. Johnson declared April 7 a national day of mourning for the civil rights leader.[112] Vice-President Hubert Humphrey attended King's funeral on behalf of Lyndon B. Johnson, as there were fears that Johnson's presence might incite protests and perhaps violence.[113] At his widow's request, King's last sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church was played at the funeral.[114] It was a recording of his "Drum Major" sermon, given on February 4, 1968. In that sermon, King made a request that at his funeral no mention of his awards and honors be made, but that it be said that he tried to "feed the hungry", "clothe the naked", "be right on the [Vietnam] war question", and "love and serve humanity".[115] His good friend Mahalia Jackson sang his favorite hymn, "Take My hand, Precious Lord", at the funeral.[116] The city of Memphis quickly settled the strike on terms favorable to the sanitation workers.[117][118] Two months after King's death, escaped convict James Earl Ray was captured at London Heathrow Airport while trying to leave the United Kingdom on a false Canadian passport in the name of Ramon George Sneyd.[119] Ray was quickly extradited to Tennessee and charged with King's murder. He confessed to the assassination on March 10, 1969, though he recanted this confession three days later.[120] On the advice of his attorney Percy Foreman, Ray pleaded guilty to avoid a trial conviction and thus the possibility of receiving the death penalty. Ray was sentenced to a 99-year prison term.[120][121] Ray fired Foreman as his attorney, from then on derisively calling him "Percy Fourflusher".[122] He claimed a man he met in Montreal, Quebec with the alias "Raoul" was involved and that the assassination was the result of a conspiracy.[123][124] He spent the remainder of his life attempting (unsuccessfully) to withdraw his guilty plea and secure the trial he never had.[121] On June 10, 1977, shortly after Ray had testified to the House Select Committee on Assassinations that he did not shoot King, he and six other convicts escaped from Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary in Petros, Tennessee. They were recaptured on June 13 and returned to prison.[

Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June, landing more than 3 million troops by the end of August. [10][11] Allied land forces that saw combat in Normandy on D-Day itself came from Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Substantial Free French and Polish forces also participated in the battle after the assault phase, and there were also contingents from Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, the Netherlands, and Norway.[12] Other Allied nations participated in the naval and air forces. Once the beachheads were secured, a three-week military buildup occurred on the beaches before Operation Cobra, the operation to break out from the Normandy beachhead began. The battle for Normandy continued for more than two months, with campaigns to establish a foothold on France, and concluded with the close of the Falaise pocket, the subsequent liberation of Paris on 25 August 1944, and the German retreat across the Seine which was completed on 30 August 1944.

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, Atlanta, Georgia, July 29, 1920 * Francisco 'Pancho' Villa surrenders * Mexican rebel bandit This 18 page newspaper has a nice seven column headline on the front page: "Villa Surrenders, But New Revolt Starts" with subheads that include: "MEXICAN TROOPS ON WAY QUELL OPEN REBELLION" "Many Concessions Given Bandit Chief" and more. Tells of the surrender of the famous Mexican rebel Pancho Villa. Other news of the day. Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise in good condition. Should be handled with care. wikipedia notes: José Doroteo Arango Arámbula (5 June 1878 – 20 July 1923), better known as Francisco “Pancho” Villa, was the first Mexican Revolutionary general along with Ramiro Cervantes and Uriel Carrasco. As commander of the División del Norte (Division of the North), he was the veritable caudillo of the Northern Mexican state of Chihuahua which, given its size, mineral wealth, and proximity to the United States of America, gave him great popularity. Villa was also provisional Governor of Chihuahua in 1913 and 1914. Although he was prevented from being accepted into the "panteón" of national heroes until some 20 years after his death, today his memory is honored by Mexicans, Americans and many people around the world. In addition, numerous streets and neighborhoods in Mexico are named in his honor. General John J. Pershing tried to capture Villa after a year in pursuit. Villa and his supporters, known as Villistas, used tactics such as propaganda and firing squads against his enemies, and seized hacienda land for distribution to peasants and soldiers. He robbed and commandeered trains, and, like the other revolutionary generals, printed fiat money to pay for his cause. Despite extensive research by Mexican and foreign scholars, many of the details of Villa's life are in dispute. When one of Madero's military commanders, Pascual Orozco, started a counterrebellion against Madero, Villa gathered his mounted cavalry troops and fought alongside General Victoriano Huerta to support Madero. However, Huerta viewed Villa as an ambitious competitor, and later accused Villa of stealing a horse and insubordination; he then had Villa sentenced to execution in an attempt to dispose of him. Reportedly, Villa was standing in front of a firing squad waiting to be shot when a telegram from President Madero was received commuting his sentence to imprisonment, from which Villa later escaped. During Villa's imprisonment, Gildardo Magaña Cerda, a Zapatista who was in prison at the time, provided the chance meeting which would help to improve his poor reading and writing skills, which would serve him well in the future during his service as provisional governor of the state of Chihuahua.

TAUNTON DAILY GAZETTE, Taunton, Massachusetts, September 28, 1927 * New York Yankees * Most wins for a season record * Best baseball team ever ? This 12 page newspaper has a one column headline on page 5: "BABE RUTH HIT A HOMER WITH BASES LOADED" with standings which shows the Yankees with 107 wins which was more wins than any other team in MLB in history at the time and was held for many years. Also two column headlines on the same page: SEE Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with little margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care. source: wikipedia: The 1927 Yankees lineup was so potent that it become known as "Murderers' Row", and some consider the team to be the best in the history of baseball (though similar claims have been made for other Yankee squads, notably those of 1939, 1961 and 1998). The Yankees won an AL then-record 110 games with only 44 losses, and swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1927 World Series. Ruth's home run total of 60 in 1927 set a single-season home run record that would stand for 34 years. Meanwhile, first baseman Lou Gehrig had his first big season, batting .373 with 47 round-trippers and 175 RBIs, beating Ruth's single-season RBI mark (171 in 1921). In the next three years, the Philadelphia Athletics would take the AL pennant and two world championships.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, January 26, 1918 * Opening day of the very 1st Tarzan film ever made ad * From the city where it was 1st shown This 22 page newspaper has a very significant film advertisement on page 11 the film: "TARZAN of the Apes". This ad is for the very 1st Tarzan film ever made on the opening day at the Broadway Theater in New York City making it the very 1st ever ad for the film in a newspaper being that this is a New York paper, the city where this film was 1st shown. This ad is very small (2 x 1/2 inch) but it is what it is. News of the day with other interesting advertisements. Usual browning with some margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care. wikipedia notes: The Internet Movie Database lists 88 movies with Tarzan in the title between 1918 and 1999. The first Tarzan movies were silent pictures adapted from the original Tarzan novels which appeared within a few years of the character's creation. With the advent of talking pictures, a popular Tarzan movie franchise was developed, anchored at first by actor Johnny Weissmüller in the title role, which lasted from the 1930s through the 1960s. Tarzan films from the 1930s on often featured Tarzan's chimpanzee companion, Cheeta. Later Tarzan films have been occasional and somewhat idiosyncratic. Disney’s animated Tarzan (1999) marked a new beginning for the ape man, taking its inspiration equally from Burroughs and Greystoke.
