THE PHOENIX GAZETTE, Arizona, Sept. 2, 1964 The bottom of the front page has the 4-column head: "War Hero Alvin York Dies" with 2 photos of him.
Sergeant York was one of the most decorated soldiers of World War I. He received the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, taking at least one machine gun, killing at least 25 enemy soldiers and capturing 132.
The banner headline announces: "Senate Passes Medicare Plan".
The complete first section with 20 pages, a bit irregular at the blank spine from disbinding, very nice condition.
