* New London, Texas school explosion

The front page has a three column headline: "SCHOOL DEATHS UNDER 500; SOME FAMILIES HAVE LOST ALL THEIR CHILDREN IN BLAST" with many subheads. (see) Much more on the following pages with photos and list of the dead. Loads of text. Coverage on the New London, Texas School explosion. Lengthy text continues inside with related photo. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports, advertisements of the day. Complete in 38 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
