About This Item
Iowa City: the tabloid, 1973. Newspaper. 4p., common tabloid format (double-fold, a 17x11 inch page) but beginner's work and quite abbreviated (single folded folio leaf); text is reproduced from typewriter-set mss, the few cartoons amateur. Toned, a very good copy. Cover headlines runs "Investigation yields Ottens suspect" [murder]; "Who rules the trailer court rulers" (mobile home despots). Inside find rumors about school board, about women on the local baseball team, and the ending of the military draft. Banner includes a definition: "caltrop - an ancient military device with four prongs one of which is always straight up."
