[GreenKeys] Kennedy TTY Traffic Re-creation for ITTY?

[Sheldon Daitch]

My thoughts on "original" wire service stories is that there are probably
only a handful of log sections of real original wire service copy, and almost
always would have been at a bureau.

The typical subscribers, radio/TV stations and newspapers, would have
ripped the page copies off the printer and used them.  So, if somehow
had a string of successive wire service stories, claiming it was the day's
archive set, I'd have to say it was a recreation.

    I've wondered about that myself.   There are 16 "original Kennedy
assassination Teletypes" on eBay right now, including one that's
supposedly from the Dow Jones "Broad Tape" news service.
