And so, with those two clues and very little else, I set out to find more clues that I may eventually reach my goal. Of course, the whole project got backtracked when my brother didn't think much of the newspaper and threw it in the garbage along with a whole bunch more trash. Needless to say, in the frail condition that the paper was in the first place, it was shattered.
This, however, did not deter my resolve. I simply picked out the pieces from the Trash and set about doing my Archeology **hence Trash Can Archeology, get it.**
My first stop was the Internet. There, I searched around for Russian lunar space probes. I found several of them, all starting with Lunik I in January 2, 1959 and ending with Lunik 17 on November 10, 1970. Still, from 1959 to 1970 is 11 years times 365 days is a lot of time and a lot of newspapers to be published.

I then searched for Adolfo Lopez Mateos. By doing this, I narrowed it down since a president's term is usually shorter than 11 years. Sure enough, Lopez Mateos served from 1958 to 1964 as Mexico's president. This narrowed the Lunik missions to Lunik I on January 2, 1959, Lunik II on September 12, 1959, and Lunik III on October 4, 1959.

While I was doing that though, I also carried around with me a little box with all the broken pieces of newspaper that I had recovered. Most of the paper had been destroyed, and I didn't salvage all of it. The pieces that made it were mostly either large and informative, as were the Russia and Mexico articles, or otherwise looked like they belonged to a larger piece. Those were the ones I carried inn the box and tried to fit together whenever I had time. The rest were mostly interesting pieces of advertising.

I managed to put together a puzzle of seven or eight very fragile pieces of paper, most about the size of a quarter, the biggest as big as half a credit card, to read almost a complete story, much bigger than any of the single big pieces that were recovered. Unfortunately for my search, the article was about some church's pastor from Detroit that was visiting Newark and provided no clues. It only spoke (and quite at length) about the attributes of the pastor, his childhood, and his service to the community. His name, Dr. James F. "Prophet" Johnes turned up no results when sought for in any search engine.
