Time it was and what a time it was . . .

This is actually Ken's find. This is an amazing time capsule. The person who filmed this wordlessly tells the story of the Chronicle putting out the special edition for Kennedy's assassination. It starts with ripping the story off of the teletype machine (they probably staged that part) and goes all the way to individual drivers taking the papers into the city. It looks like an episode of Mad Men. You can see the Rice Hotel through the windows of the newsroom. A new 1963 Chevy drives down the street. Almost none of the machines or processes used to put out the paper exist any more. About all that's left is the printing press itself, which still sits in the basement of the building. It's unused, but unmovable. The building is built around it. Step into the "Way Back Machine" and enter the world of November 22, 1963.
