I delivered the Auckland Star here in New Zealand for many years as a kid. I remember Saturday evening the day JFK was assassinated (it's nearly one day ahead of the US here) and people eagerly waiting at their letter boxes for the paper. Distinctly remember the headlines and the two pics on the front page - one of a police official holding the alleged assassination rifle above his head and the other of the Dallas book depository with an arrow pointing to a window where the alleged shots were fired from. Overseas pics were all by wire in those days and they weren't very sharp.
I had a great boyhood and the paper run helped pay for things like fishing rods and the like. Tree huts, slingshots, home made bombs, trolleys made from soap boxes and old pram wheels etc. Seems like kids these days just don't do those things anymore.
