RE: Headline of the Year awards short list.

Mr Owers,

I am pleased to announce that you have made it to the finals of the Headline of the Year award.

“Housing Limited by Shortage of Land”

The Sun Sentinel

Today

You

It impressed the judges on many levels. Expect stiff competition from

“Skiing Hampered by lack of Snow”

and 

“Malaria Hampered by Lack of Mosquitoes”

The paradigmatic templates still set the standard to which all headline writers aspire.  

“Headless Body in Topless Bar”

“Liz Wants Dick”

& 

“John Garfield Still Dead”

Will they be topped? Quien Sabe?

Good luck. Alas, there is no cash prize.
