I don't believe that the _Stars and Stripes_ I mentioned are in
N'Archive.  (and those are the only newspapers I know of in
Ancestry.com).

I don't recall finding anything useful in any of the college databases,
with the possible exception of some stuff in the MIT Tech.  But college
students are on the cutting edge of some slang, so it seems worthy to
list the databases.

Don't own them so I can't say.

Yes.  As is the Baltimore Afro-American.  But Paperofrecord's search
interface SUCKS.
