New York Times July 25, 1969

The Astronauts get the full-page treatment again with their return to earth.

And now that they are home safe without mishap, all of the companies that had a little hand in the endeavor are quick to congratulate themselves.
Boy, this headline could certainly have been today. I never thought to consider how inflation may have led to  men choosing to grow their hair long.
The management of the upcoming music festival take out a big ad about how they are all about peace, music, and suing Wallkilil, NY. It does not appear the lawsuit ever happened, though the man who eventually hosted the concert on his farm, Max Yasgur, was sued by his neighbors for the damage sustained by their farms during the concert. Also in this photo you can see the wide variety of off-Broadway fair available for viewing in these new, more permissive times, running the gamut from Gilbert & Sullivan to de Sade Illustrated.

  1. It took place a few years before I was born... but I love everything about the Apollo 11 trip.
