With the 50th anniversary of the first manned moon landing upon us, the local paper did a reprint of their front page from that day:
What I found most interesting, however, were the four other stories that also appeared on the front page. Specifically:
- An article about negotiations with China about trade with the United States;
- Shocking revelations about Ted Kennedy abandoning a lady-friend to drown at Chappaquiddick;
- Political repercussions to the Democrats for the Kennedy story;
- News about Israel lobbing mortar shells to Palestinians
So if I told you I was reading a newspaper which had:
- A story about China/US trade talks;
- A political scandal with sexual overtones;
- Discord among the Democratic party; and
- Reports about Israel bombing their neighbors
I don’t suppose you’d assume it was anything but today’s edition, right? Except for the cool part about brave men doing something amazing and heroic.
