THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 28, 1952
* USS Hobson destroyer sinks with huge loss
* USS Wasp aircraft carrier collision (1st report)
The front page has a four column headline: "176 MISSING AS U. S. DESTROYER SINKS IN NIGHT CRASH WITH CARRIER WASP; 61 MEN ARE RESCUED IN MID-ATLANTIC" with subheads and two photos. (see) First report coverage on the USS Hobson & USS Wasp collision. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 40 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.
