PHOTOS on that front page:

One of the most recognized news photographs of the 20th century-- the picture of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald in a jail corridor, surrounded by law enforcement officers and reporters-- told the story in a way rarely seen then or now.

The crime was broadcast live on TV, witnessed by millions of Americans who turned in to see the man accused of killing President John F. Kennedy.
