Burger served as the 15th Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1969-1986. Not in OCLC. Per McHenry's letter: "In 1920 DeWitt Wallace published a trial edition of Reader's Digest. He was then living in St. Paul, and he used the edition to try to interest publisher's in St. Paul and others in the magazine. As you know, this didn't work and he moved to New York where he published the first issue in February, 1922. As an executor of the estate, I have been collecting his papers together and I came across a few copies of this trial edition, which I have had bound. Jack O'Hara and I think you should have one." 1404048. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
