Headlines!

The New York Post has been polling its readers to pick their all-time favourite headline. They have tallied the votes from the first round and my all-time favourite has made it to the final four.

This headline ran in 1982 just after I moved to New York and I have always remembered it as the best ever. I am pleased to see that the rest of the Post-reading population thinks so too.

In fact, someone has actually made a virtually unknown film based on this headline, with the headline itself as its title.
