Thanks, Bill, for providing the link to the "Newseum," and thus making it impossible for me to continue my boycott of it.<p>One of the more puzzling heds is Detroit's:<p>REAGAN DIES, BROUGHT HOPE BACK TO AMERICA<p>It's curiously punctuated and seems more like a seven-word editorial.<p>My absolute favorite is Calgary's:<p>DID THE PUCK GO IN?<p>Also curious: Even though the demise was announced in plenty of time for papers to break their front pages, note that a bunch of them still went with whatever packages they had planned and shoehorned the death of a former president around it. A particularly egregious example of this is Culpeper.<p>In defense of the places that did this, my guess is they are so understaffed that they can't even make an attempt to play up a breaking news story once the page is "designed."
