This publication, The World, represents the official voice and ideological "mouthpiece" of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) during one of the most volatile periods of the Cold War.
The front page has a nice banner headline: "SHOTGUNS, TEARGAS FELL 128 STUDENTS" with related photo. (see images) 
This publication was largely distributed by hand at political rallies and anti-war demonstrations rather than sold at mainstream newsstands. Consequently, most copies were treated as ephemeral flyers and discarded, while the remaining pool of survivors was severely limited because the political stigma of the late Cold War deterred ordinary citizens from intentionally archiving communist literature in their homes.
Complete with 12 pages, tabloid size, very nice condition.

Background: The May 16, 1969 event marked the formal escalation of the People's Park crisis into a military-style occupation of Berkeley, following the infamous "Bloody Thursday" of May 15 when Alameda County Sheriff's deputies opened fire on thousands of protesters with shotguns loaded with lethal buckshot, mortally wounding bystander James Rector and injuring over 100 people. In direct response to the violent clashes over the university's decision to bulldoze and fence off the community-built park, California Governor Ronald Reagan declared a State of Emergency on May 16, dispatching 2,700 heavily armed California National Guard troops to enforce strict curfews, ban public assemblies, and patrol campus streets with fixed bayonets. Over the subsequent two weeks, the confrontation reached extraordinary levels, culminating on May 20 when military helicopters sprayed CS tear gas directly onto Sproul Plaza—affecting students, faculty, surrounding residential neighborhoods, and nearby hospital grounds—before peaceful demonstrations like the May 30 "March of 30,000" eventually demonstrated widespread community support and cemented People's Park as an enduring national symbol of free speech, grassroots activism, and resistance to state power.
