Front page of August 9, 1945 issue of The Knoxville News-Sentinel with the headline "Atom Bomb Falls Again Million Soviets Attack Japs." Notably, racist ethnic slurs are used to refer to the Japanese in the headline and featured articles. The use of these words reflects the heightened anti-Japanese sentiments that were fueled by World War II.
