A lot of history in a short time

Things I found while scanning the a little more than one month of the New York Times in Times Machine:

Sacco and Vanzetti were convicted

President Coolidge announced he did not choose to run again in 1928

Henry Ford claimed all this talk of him hating Jews was nonsense, and he renounced the Dearborn Independent's anti-Semitic stories as having been published without his knowledge.  And The Protocols of the Elders of Zion?  Total bushwa!

The Times also had a photo of 15-month-old Princess Elizabeth and her mother.


Finally, the Yankees dropped a 6-3 decision to the White Sox.  Babe Ruth never got the ball out of the infield.  That was their 5th loss in their last nine games, and their lead over Washington was reduced to 11 1/2 games.  The Times sportswriter showed an appropriate amount of concern at this turn of events.
