Here… take the shirt off my back…

While preparing to place a newspaper announcing the death of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (USA Today, May 20, 1994), we discovered another unrelated item which provided a bit of comic relief.  Please enjoy:

• They put it in print… Interesting Kennedy obituary…
• Wishful thinking…
• A new (old) definition of a “sacrifice hit”…
• Editors take note: be mindful of photos accompanying headlines…
• What about three wrongs making a right?
