BORN TODAY: TOMORROW'S MAN
This is from the Daily Mirror in 1968 - it was printed about 2 months before I was born, and kept by my Mum!
It came from a short-lived (from 30th January 1968 until 27th August 1974) section called "Mirrorscope" which apparently tackled serious issues.
The British Journalism Review Vol. 13, No. 4, 2000 said that it was "a game attempt to provide serious analysis in the rough and tumble of the tabloids."
John Lanchester in the London Review of Books refers to it as "the would-be informative but muddling and tonally uncertain Mirrorscope."
