| Clippings from the Chicago Tribune, May 31, 1945. Article by Rita Fitzpatrick, letters in response to which must have appeared in the same paper a few days later. The article emphasized the pageantry of the event and its similarity to popular music concerts. The excerpts from three letters of response from readers, probably printed in the same paper a day or two later, reacted very negatively to perceived tone of flippancy and disrespect. From the Papers of Torrey Johnson, Collection 285, photo album I. |
