You're welcome. I was curious, too, but it was pretty objective. No editorial on the Stonewall article, either

I suppose the initial reports were before they knew the details. But after the trial started, and the homosexuality and child rape and "Jewishness" of the murderers was well known, I'm still curious how it played in the media.
It's the same with Stonewall. When it first occurred, no one knew the later importance it would take on to gay rights.

Back when I had access to LexisNexis I downloaded a bunch of articles from the 1940s and 50s about UFOs. One thing I learned is that foo fighters were not just a World War II phenomenon but were seen during the Korean War as well.

At the same time, Estes was buying cotton allotments from farmers in the Old Confederacy and transferring these allotments to his lands in West Texas … which wasn’t much good, as cotton land went, but price supports were so inflated that an allotment (in effect, a license to grow cotton) was like a license to print money. Anyway, there was an Ag Department man in Texas named Marshall, and he refused to approve these cotton transfers. Marshall ended up dead on his ranch: he’d been poisoned with carbon monoxide, beat over the head, and gut-shot five times (with his own bolt-action .22 rifle). Still, taxpayers might never have known. Henry Marshall’s death was ruled a suicide. After that, Estes’s cotton assignments went through.
Any stories about that incident. Estes is Billie Sol Estes. He was a friend of Lyndon Johnson, who was vice-president at the time. 1961 I think. -
