Tomorrow in the Boston Globe:

Jim White on 13 year old golfer.

Just doesn't sound right does it?

Just curious, but how do you know what tomorrow's headlines will be? I am sort of confused here.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


How about this ad: "Pants half off"?

You're right tho, WHERE was the editor???

Succatash, how were you able to include pictures in your post?

I upload them to my website and then I just type the http...pic address. It works unless you have certain free hosting like Geocities which makes you go to the webpage first so you can see their advertisement.

Well, they have to get the paper together, figure out what's newsworthy and what's not, then print it, then deliver it. They can't really publish the news ON THE DAY, that the news happens. I would be more surprised if they DIDN'T know what was going to be in the next day's headlines.

Who is "they?" The newspaper? Sure, of course they know. But the general public? Does Tragic Story work for the newspaper?

I love that one. It's just so very sincere.

And it's been my experience that the last of the headlines get written in the mid-evening, almost always before 9 p.m. or so, depending on to what extent news breaks late and how often managing editors send them back to the copy desks.

It just occured to me (I know, I'm a bit slow). What better alias for a newspaperman than "Tragicstory"?

Sorry to break it to you all but I don't work at the newspaper.

I was watching the pre-game to the red sox/rays game and it was hosted by the Boston Globe. So the announcer had to run through the headlines on tommorrow's paper.
