“The site needs to use higher resolution.” The problem, I am sure, is that the hard copies were scanned a long time ago at a certain resolution, and without going back to the original hard copies (if they still exist!!) and rescanning them, there is no way to improve on what they have.

The Sunday Annies are never readable even when downloaded and enlarged. This site needs to use higher resolution.

One word I read differently is “rabid” not “radio” devotees.
