You can get to the newspaper sections at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/digitalarchive/index.html . Every day a new edition of the newspaper will be added (currently October 22 and October 23, 1962, and are available.) The papers are in PDF format. Click on a date and the paper will load. The paper is presented as it originally appeared -- ads, comics, and all. The October 22 paper was 45 pages long. A pull-down menu at the top of the page allows you to choose the page you want to view (there are also forward and back arrows next to the pull-down menu.) A zoom of 100% allowed me to read anything I wanted to read, though you can zoom in closer if you like just in case you didn't quite get everything in the Peanuts cartoon. There are a few other offerings in addition to the newspaper editions. There are pointers to recent stories related to the Cuban Missile Crisis, commentary, and a couple of presentations related to the crisis. Worth a look. ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
