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 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?
