Shortly after the Three Mile Island reactor accident in 1979, the physicist Edward Teller was featured in a two-page ad by Dresser Industries proclaiming himself as "the only victim of Three-Mile Island" on account of his having a heart attack while trying to lobby for nuclear power (he blamed the heart attack on Jane Fonda and Ralph Nader, not the reactor). It first ran on July 31, 1979 in the Wall Street Journal.

Above is a duplicate ad which ran on October 16, 1979, in the Washington Post (the WSJ ad microfilm was not of very good quality in comparison). The only change from the original is the small box in the lower-right corner was simply the Dresser Industries logo in the original ad. The copyright holder is likely Dresser Industries.

Because it is a reproduction of a historically relevant advertisement at a resolution large enough just to encourage its legibility, and because its use does not conceiveable defraud the copyright holder, I assert that its use on the non-profit English language Wikipedia falls under the fair use clause of U.S. copyright law.

This image is of a scan of a newspaper page or article, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the newspaper or the individual contributors who worked on the articles or images depicted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of newspaper pages to illustrate either the publication of the article or issue in question, with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
