The first pages of two early editions, showing how the paper was rapidly re-set as news came in over the wires. For example, pages 7 and 8 of the earlier edition were mostly devoted to local school board races. In the later edition, they describe the rioting sparked by King's death. Neither paper includes sections AA, B, C, or D.
