Google Books has done it again! They've published every LIFE magazine from 1936 to 1972. Students, if you want to add a lot of WOW to your paper, check this archive out. The pictures are incredible, not to mention the ads. You won't believe what things cost back in the 40's, 50's and beyond. Check out your parents, or better yet, your grandparents' birthdays and see what was going on in the world when they were born. Amazing!
Here's a link for the August, 1969 special edition (pic above) on the first moon walk: http://tinyurl.com/ykndxal
The April 7, 1952 edition has movie star Marilyn Monroe on the cover, but if you look carefully up in the right-hand corner is an article: "The Case for Interplanetary Saucers" That was over 60 years ago! How cool is that? http://tinyurl.com/yfron3r
Put Google Books in your Favorites. It's a great resource for any time.
