Korea-50 years ago this week



Can anyone help ?
I have been unable to find "Korea-50 years ago this week" for the time periods of "August 23-August 29" and "September 13-September 19". 
I would appreciate any help in obtaining these two files to complete my files of "Korea-50 years ago this week".
