THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 17, 1954

* Heinz Wilhelm Guderian death (1st report)
* "Father of the Blitzkrieg"... Nazi Panzer Armies
* Brown vs. Board of Education - "day of" reporting


This 42 page newspaper has one column headlines on page 23: "GEN. GUDERIAN, 65, DEAD IN GERMANY", "Creator of Panzer Armies Led Drive in West--Was Acting Chief of Staff" with smaller subheads and photo of Guderian (see photos). He is known as the "Father of the Blitzkrieg". Page 2 has, "Bias Decision Awaited", with supporting text which mentions that the Supreme Court had yet to announce their decision in regards to Brown vs. Board of Education. Significant in that by the time this Late City Edition had hit the streets of New York, the decision had been made.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Light browning, otherwise in good condition.
