Historical value

Check your copy of today’s Tribune. It might be worth something one day.

Senior employees at the Chicago Tribune led a frantic effort to remove hundreds of thousands of copies of the paper’s WomanNews section Tuesday night in an attempt to keep readers from seeing a story editors deemed offensive.

In a note to readers published Wednesday, Tribune editors wrote: “Wednesday’s WomanNews section included an article discussing the use of vulgar slang in referring to women. Senior editors determined that the story was inappropriate after the preprinted edition went to press. Most copies were removed from Wednesday’s edition, though a relatively small number of copies may still contain it.”

If anyone has a copy of that, fax me a copy.
