Every basement needs a box filled with newspapers bearing headlines of history! Back in college, my Grandpa gave me his--with papers I don't even know how he was able to find...here's a few of those headlines:
Various newspapers & one magazine bearing witness to history: several Chicago Tribunes (from long enough ago the paper still had "Daily" in its non-Sunday-title): Tuesday, May 8, 1945 (V-E Day); Monday, September 9, 1968 (a recap of the infamous Democratic Convention); Friday, April 13, 1945 ("ROOSEVELT DIES!"); Wednesday, February 21, 1962 (including a color photo of Lt. Col. John Glenn's Friendship7 capsule taking off, still attached to its Atlas rocket); Tuesday, April 3, 1917 ("U. S. AT WAR: WILSON"); South Bend [Indiana] Tribunes from Saturday, November 22, 1963 (with a full-color-picture of El BJ); Monday, May 7, 1945 (more V-E Day); Thursday, August 8, 1974 ("NIXON RESIGNING"); from the now-defunct Chicago Herald-American, Tuesday, August 11, 1945 (in bold red & black: "TOKYO BROADCASTS--'WE ACCEPT PEACE TERMS'"); and the August 1965 edition of the National Geographic [minus the phonograph record that was originally included with it] (Winston Churchill's funeral).
