This one seems to perfectly sum up the news of the day.
As long as we’re on the Sun, who could forget this headline regarding a football (soccer) match between Celtic and Inverness Caledonian Thistle:
Oops, I see “Wall Street Lays an Egg” has already been linked to.
**“WE WIN” ** featured in the title sequence of *Cheers *for 11 years.
"British push bottles up Germans’ rear" possibly apocryphal, I’ve been unable to trace the origin.
British Football (soccer, to Americans) result. Caledonians utterly defeated Celtic in the final. The headline … **Super Cally go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious. ** I hope the guy that thought up that one got a promotion.
edit - darn you, Mobo.
Variety Headline: Stix Nix Hix Pix
About rural moviegoers disliking movies about farming.
One of my favorites, albeit one I can’t find an image for:
“No Hudson Officials Indicted Today”
- The Jersey Journal, some point in the 1980s
checks local magzine
“Touchy Business”
I love that one. I lived in SF at the time, and saved a copy.

Actually, it was “Eighth Army Push Bottles Up Germans”, in reference to the end game in North Africa. But according to Snopes it has never been proven before about 1965.
A similar case is “MacArthur Flies Back to Front”.
from the Roswell Daily Record.
What is “RAAF”? I can only find “Royal Australian Air Force”.
Just thought of another one; sports-related:
The Roswell one is pretty neat.
If you magnify the photo: “Roswell Army Air Field.” Obviously refering to the air base. (Remember, the air force hadn’t been formed yet. The air corps were part of the army.)
Of the ones listed thus far, I am by far most familiar with the photo of Truman holding up the Tribune and with “Gotcha”.
