[GreenKeys] [External] New York Times Wire Room - 1942

[Richard Knoppow]

    I was just going to ask if anyone could read the copy. Most Shorpy 
pix come from the National Archives (I think I am calling this by the 
wrong name) and are often available in their original via the web, often 
in very high resolution.
