| For the Fourth of July, 1961, we have a group of eight-column pages. Weren’t those the days? Newspapers are much narrower now and only have six columns.The Times has one photo, eight stories, a two-column index and a weather box. The Milwaukee Sentinel has a photo, 11 stories and an index. Oddly enough, the Miami News looks more like what newspapers were doing in the 1970s and it holds the record for different column widths: one-column, two-column and a bastard measure of five on eight.The Sentinel promises a “4th with all the trimmings,” which I thought only happened at Thanksgiving.
