The printer, Colonial Press (at bottom),
once printed more books than any other on the U.S. East Coast, among them
the Warren Commission Report about the assassination
of President Kennedy.
Right before the press closed in 1978 one
of the workers experienced something familiar:
"They called us into this meeting and the vice president stood
up on this chair and told us that there was no truth to the rumors that
Colonial Press was closing," Patterson said. "The next week they
announced they were closing."
