Today I spent some time looking through some microfilm copies of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin from 1959. Back then, the Bulletin was Philly's top newspaper, and I figured that flipping through a few issues would give me a feel for the city at that time. Boy did it. Here are some of the headlines from a single week's worth of stories:Woman Seized In Murder Plot
Secretary Planned to Hire Killer
Docker Chokes One Man, Beats 2d to Death
"I Gave Him All I Had" Attacker Tells the Police
Another Girl Is Slashed
She Is Cut on Head In North Phila. Street
GI Admits Slashing Debbie, 7 Others
Was Seized In Molesting Of 2 Boys
Chained to Bed in Plant, Girl Job Seeker Tells Police
Slashed to Death In Fight Over Check
Boy, 14, Kills Grandmother With Ice Pick
Victim, 82, Had Reported Him As Runaway
I had no idea that slashing was so popular in the late 1950s.
