So, forty years ago tomorrow, the headlines covering today’s news focus on gas rationing in New Jersey, President Nixon offering a budget, and China renewing its Cultural Revolution.  Miners in Britain also voted overwhelmingly (81%!) to strike.

There’s also no URL telling me to check out the newspaper online and it cost only 15 cents.

February 4, 1974, was a pretty eventful day!
