* Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. assassination
* 1st report w/ nice headline for display


The front page banner headline announces: "DR. KING IS SHOT TO DEATH" with a photo captioned: "Dr. Martin Luther King" and another headed: "Memphis Murder Scene".
The coverage carries over to page 10 where there are two more related photos. Additionally page 14 is completely taken up with nine photos of him headed: "Racial Storms Dogged Dr. King's Footsteps".
