A picture from
the 2008 race last February.
Go to the following pages for 1938
newspaper clippings about the race and the times: Front
Page,
Second Page, and
Back Page. Those interested in History will find these
pages very spectacular. Among many other photos and articles, they
contain: photos of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Kennedy and his eldest sons
Joe, Jr. and JFK, Japanese soldiers on the Yellow River in China, and a
troop of Indian soldiers in the British army preparing to defend Hong Kong
from Japanese attack; and
articles about
the breakdown in Austro-German negotiations and Britain's foreign policy
being shaped toward peace under Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary.
