Item # 710196
September 13, 1945
MINNEAPOLIS MORNING TRIBUNE, Minn., Sept. 13, 1945

* Manhattan Project comes to fruition
* Director physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer
* Post atomic bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki
* Japanese claim of radiation in deaths


The front page has a three column heading; "Accidental Find Prevents A-Bomb Earth-Poisoning" with rare photo of Oppenheimer. (see images) Coverage continues inside.
Twenty pages, light toning at the margins, some small blue pen markings throughout with 3 on the front page. I presume this was from a period school project. The Oppenheimer reporting is unaffected though, otherwise in good condition.
