As one who misspent many years composing headlines, often under a fast-ticking clock, we honor today one of the great headline writers of all time, and raise a glass to Vincent Musetto.
Mr. Musetto (probably "Vinnie" to his buddies) wrote this imperishable headline for the New York Post in 1998:
HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR
Celebrated as this is within the newspaper world, Vinnie's personal favourite was:
GRANNY EXECUTED IN PINK PAJAMAS
Mr. Musetto has now departed for the Great Newsroom in the Sky. Watch for his next headline on your Ouija board.
