DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Summaries of articles of interest to Humphrey, primarily because they mentioned him or his activities, that appeared in the Minneapolis and St. Paul newspapers. The summaries were prepared daily by Humphrey’s office. Entire articles are sometimes photocopied and attached. The news summaries continue through the majority of Muriel Humphrey's senatorial service and are filed chronologically. Most of the 1973 and all of the 1974 summaries are impermanent photocopies.
