Newspapers across the country screamed the news of the stock market crash, October 1929. Only the San Francisco Chronicle thought it no more important than a sunken ferry and a lobbyist scandal.

"Not Guilty"

Comics dot org has this comic book as released on Oct 21, which was one week after Brezhnev successfully shoved Khrushchev from power. On how Archie is annoying the United Nations, maybe he is pulling Khrushchev's old shtick and pounding shoes at the lectern.

I find old, front-page newspaper headlines from throughout history endlessly fascinating, and for two weeks in July 1903, the coverage by the New York Times of 93-year-old Pope Leo XIII’s illness and death was quite the rollercoaster ride, and the Times reported every peak, valley, turn and loop. And they did so literally every day for over two weeks. I’m surprised they aren’t still publishing alternating reports about how Pope Leo is feeling. Check out the day-to-day headlines from July 5, 1903-July 21, 1903:

•July 5, 1903: POPE LEO BELIEVED TO BE NEAR END: He Is Suffering from Pneumonia with Complications •July 6, 1903: DYING POPE IS KEPT ALIVE BY STIMULANTS: Physicians Hope to Prolong Life a Few Days •July 7, 1903: POPE LEO ALIVE, BUT NEAR DEATH: Very Feeble and in Pain, Though His Mind Is Clear •July 8, 1903: POPE FACES DEATH WITH LION HEART: Submits to an Operation with Marvelous Cheerfulness •July 9, 1903: POPE LEO IS STILL BATTLING FOR LIFE: He Is Now Afflicted by a Combination of Diseases •July 10, 1903: THE POPE SUFFERS ANOTHER RELAPSE: Dr. Lapponi Now Says His Condition Is Beyond Hope •July 11, 1903: POPE’S CONDITION AGAIN IMPROVES: His Holiness Is Relieved by Another Operation •July 12, 1903: POPE LEO’S LIFE IN SLOWLY EBBING: Had a Fair Day, but Grew Worse in the Night •July 13, 1903: THE POPE’S DOCTOR IS NOW MORE HOPEFUL: Lapponi Thinks His Holiness May Partially Recover •July 14, 1903: POPE’S CONDITION IS MUCH WORSE: His Mind Affected for First Time Since He Fell Ill •July 15, 1903: POPE RALLIES AFTER SINKING VERY LOW: Gets Out of Bed, Transacts Business, and Sees Cardinals •July 16, 1903: POPE MAY LIVE FOR DAYS: Condition a Shade Better -- Delirium Has Ceased •July 17, 1903: POPE LEO GROWS WORSE STEADILY: Another Operation May Have to be Performed To-Day •July 18, 1903: POPE’S CONDITION IS SLIGHTLY IMPROVED: But the Doctors Entertain No Hope of His Recovery •July 19, 1903: POPE SINKING AFTER A SLEEPLESS NIGHT: General Failure Noted of Pontiff’s Vital Forces •July 20, 1903: POPE LEO NOW IN A STATE OF COMA: It Is Believed That the End is Very Near •July 21, 1903: POPE LEO XIII PASSES AWAY: Long Struggle with Death Is Terminated
