Description

2 items. Two versions of Williams speech on "The Responsibility of the Press." One was a work-up of the text with the standard b/w portrait-style drawing that appeared with W.'s columns, but this apparently did not run in LAT. The second is a re-print of the speech that ran in the October 1962 issue of California Parent-Teacher magazine.
