THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-- "Second Extra", Nov. 22, 1963 

* Bizarre JFK - John F. Kennedy assassination issue

This “Second Extra” edition has a curious–if not macabre–combination of headline and photo.
As would be expected of an “Extra” of this date, the large & bold headline proclaims: “KENNEDY KILLED” but immediately beneath it is a photo of a street sweeper pushing his trash cart with a pair of trousers & boots protruding from the top, with the caption: “Sweeper Means What He Says”, as if related…

THE MIAMI NEWS, Florida, Nov. 22, 1963 

* Terrific issue for display
* JFK John F. Kennedy assassination

I believe this to be an "extra" edition put out very quickly to announce: "KENNEDY IS DEAD ! " "Felled By Assassin In Dallas" in huge letters on the front page, as the pagination is odd. There are 8 pages total which is likely all this edition had, but they are numbered 1, 2, 7, 8, 13, 14, 19 & 20. It is called the: "Blue Streak Edition" as a blue streak runs down the right margin.
Minor margin…
