Google's Newspaper Archive Search

While currently researching a story about a murdered American journalist, Todd Smith who was killed while investigating the drug trade in 1989, I managed to uncover (new for me at least) a Google feature that I was unaware even existed.  The search option is a Newspaper Archive Search and it allows the user to type the name of the newspaper and then pick the specific publication based on year and exact date.  Once you select the newspaper you are able to view the ENTIRE paper!  For someone like me who is constantly searching for answers this is an amazing feature and yet I am surprised that I have never heard of it until now.

Here is the link for those interested in giving it a try: http://www.google.com/archivesearch

    As usual I am enjoying your blog and happy to see it take a more investigative angle.
