November 22, 1963
LOS ANGELES TIMES - EXTRA, Nov. 22, 1963
* JFK John F. Kennedy assassination
* Unusual headline - Early, same day report
A very intriguing newspaper not just because of the very large and bold presentation but for what I suspect was a hastily prepared headline reading: "ASSASSINATE KENNEDY", when I presume "KENNEDY ASSASSINATED" was the intended headline. Over one-quarter of the front page is taken up with the large photo of J.F.K. (see). One of the more macabre headlines to be found on this event.
Also of interest is the page 3 report headed: " 'Alcatraz Birdman' Robert Stroud Dies in His Sleep at Age of 73" which includes a photo of him. His notoriety was enhanced by the movie "Birdman of Alcatraz" starring Burt Lancaster as Stroud.
The complete first section (of 2) with pages 1-36 pages. There has been some repair work to a small portion of the Kennedy photos which is almost unnoticeable (see photos). Some archival mends to page 2.
