Why not just put the entire article in the title?
AMEN!
Time was the Sr. Editor of even the smallest, most Podunk paper in the country would’ve had an aneurysm at a “headline” like this one. “Back When” no headline was EVER to be a complete sentence; rarely even a complete clause. Part and parcel of the work of a headline was to induce you to READ THE F’N ARTICLE!
Well, when 2/3 of the article is in the headline, da Hell’s the point??? We’ve got half the world running around thinking they know what’s happening because they scanned the headlines, when they’re actually the most UN-informed “informed” body of humanity EVER.
