It happens all too frequently. This time, it happened on a Monday afternoon.

I decided to take a look at the Nov. 23, 1963 newspaper coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It seemed like a good day to promote the online archives, because Monday was the 41st anniversary of the tragedy in Dallas.

I quickly looked up the date in question and posted the findings near the top of our Web site, but then I got greedy.
