President Richard Nixon "quits"...



Item # 705804

August 09, 1974

DAILY NEWS--EXTRA, New York Aug. 9, 1974  This issue is destined to become the defining newspaper on the Nixon era. A very dramatic front page with most of it taken up with: "NIXON QUITS". The balance has the official announcement: "President Nixon announced his resignation tonight in a TV address to the nation. Vice President Gerald R. Ford will become 38th President tomorrow."
More coverage, with photos, on the inside pages.
Most issues of this newspaper on the market are the more common "Final" edition which is similar but has a different text beneath the headline. This is the "Extra" edition.
Tabloid-size, complete in 28 pages, very nice condition.
