Letter on Post Office File Copy Death Notice Demand
Editor The Star responds to a reader seeking back copies for a 1916 death notice. The paper explains bound files start 1899 with 90 day extra copies, notes not feasible to reproduce or photograph old items, mentions microfilm from 1966 onward, and offers a typed copy or master negative options at moderate cost. The letter discusses archival constraints and access challenges for historical obituaries.

The blasts occurred near the Shah’s tomb site, the U.S. Information Service building, and a Pepsi plant as Nixon proceeded with scheduled appearances. White House aides stressed the acts did not appear aimed at the president or his party.
