LOS ANGELES TIMES, Nov. 6, 1985  This issue documents the passing of a transformative religious leader who fundamentally reshaped the modern trajectory of his faith. 
The front page features a significant report headed: "Spencer W. Kimball, 90, Dies; Led Mormon Church", which is followed by a few paragraphs of supporting text. The extensive coverage continues on page 22, taking up a full column and featuring a photograph detailing his peaceful passing the prior evening in Salt Lake City at the age of 90.  
The historical significance of this coverage centers on Kimball's legacy as the 12th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a tenure defined by profound institutional change. Becoming president in late 1973, he shifted the church into a period of massive global expansion, notably declaring that all able-bodied young men should serve in full-time missions. However, his most monumental legacy came in June 1978, when he announced a historic revelation that ended a century-long restriction, extending the priesthood and temple blessings to all worthy male members regardless of race. This landmark decision opened the doors to rapid growth in Africa and Latin America, permanently altering the global demographics of the church.
