OVERTAKEN BY EVENTS
 |
James Joyner | Friday, November 21, 2003 |
Tom McMahon writes about an exceedingly rare edition of Life magazine: The publisher’s advance copies of the November 29, 1963 edition featuring Navy quarterback Roger Staubach, who won the Heisman trophy as a junior and eventually went on to a Hall of Fame career with the Dallas Cowboys. Certain events on November 22, ironically enough in Dallas, made it necessary to replace the cover and entire contents of that issue.
I’d also be interested in looking at Theodore White’s piece, “Negro Demands: Are they Realistic?” advertised on the cover blurb.
About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.
