Like women's fashions, automobile bodies and hair-dos, the style of reporting news also changes with the years.

The Vacaville Cousins Who Gave Their Lives / Rico, John [922] [RICO-1979-922]
PERHAPS YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW - Writing about past wars, and especially those bits of news which saddened many Vacaville families, is not what any writer would choose to elaborate on. But from time to time such informative information may be beneficial to residents here today.

Events parallel those of 50 years ago / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [89] [WAYITWAS-2001-89]
I had originally intended this article to be used at the end of November around Pearl Harbor Day. But with events unfolding now, the attack in the USA by terrorists, perhaps a look at six months of news editorial excerpts 50 years ago will give a little insight as to how we got here.
