THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, Springfield, Massachusetts, January 5, 1965  The front page has a five-column, three line headline "President Asks Slash In Excise Taxes, Bids Red Leaders Visit U.S." with sub-headline "Would Increase Poverty War, Education Funds" "Johnson Finds National 'Restless, Growing, Full of Hope'" and includes a photo of him delivering the address. This was the President's "Great Society" State of the Union message in which he would establish a new education program, double funding for fighting poverty, and other programs to "elevate the quality of our civilization."
Also on the front page is a banner headline "T.S. Eliot, Poet, Playwright, Dies at 76" with column headline "T.S. Eliot Dies at 76; Nobel-Winning Poet" "Writer of 'The Waste Land' Born in U.S., Made Home in England".
Other news, sports and advertisements are within.
This is complete in 30 pages with several tiny binding holes in the left margin, otherwise is in very nice condition.
