* George Reeves death - suicide?
* TV show 'Superman' fame
This 40 page newspaper has a small and somewhat discrete one column headline on page 28: "'Superman' of TV Commits Suicide"
Tells of Superman actor George Reeves death which is still in controversy till this day.
I have noticed that many newspapers across the country did not report this event for some reason and those that did have similar inside page reports.
Other news of the day throughout. Minor spine wear, otherwise in good condition.
wikipedia notes: George Reeves (January 5, 1914 – June 16, 1959) was an American actor best known for his role as Superman in the 1950s television program Adventures of Superman.
His death at age 45 from a gunshot remains a polarizing issue. Some believe the official verdict of suicide; others believe George Reeves was murdered or the victim of an accidental shooting.
