- The case board separates Jordan’s identifications from research leads and marks three KUTV tapes as not yet viewed.
Field notes
The newspaper exhibit includes pages B1 and B2, with controls to enlarge the family’s original clipping. Jordan identifies the April 12, 1990 Lakers-at-Jazz clip by matching the dancer’s shorts and “BEAT LA” shirt to the article photo, and by checking the visible score and game clock. The case board also labels its status categories and cautions that a name listed as a referral does not necessarily mean that person was contacted.
