On the CD-ROM I find it interesting that WTs go back to 1960, but Awake! only back to 1970 -- and some of the most damning comments referring to 1975 are in the 1968 & 1969 Awake! issues.
Coincidence?
I don't think so.

I sometimes think that the reason for the differing cut-offs on WTs and Awakes on WT-library (1950 for WTs and 1970 for Awakes) is the infamous 1969 Awake quote that says something about young ones never growing old in this system, encouraging them to neglect schooling, etc.
They've got a pretty perfect system set up that makes it easy for them to throw away the old literature anyways. All the literature is just the same regurgitated crap year after year, so if you go back 50 years you won't really have anything more (other than doctrinal flip-flops) than you would be able to get by just going back 10 years.
I'm interested to see if they start removing old stuff from the website too eventually. Now that would be telling.

George Orwell would have recognized the JW/WT modus operandi as coming straight from his novel "1984".
In fact, I think the GB and the Writing Committee keep "1984" close by for use as an Operational Handbook.

Well there's that, plus wasn't it in the 60's Awakes that women's brains are smaller than men's thus they are less intelligent, or something like that?
There's all sorts of crazy stuff that got printed in the 60's & earlier. Well, crazier than usual, anyway.
