Fine Lines takes a look at headlines from the tabloids. Not the supermarket rags, but real newspapers, such as the Boston Herald and the New York Post, that serve up the news with a touch of brass. A clever or pointed tabloid headline is a thing of beauty (or at least a heck of a lot of fun), especially if it involves wit and wordplay.
The news that Hosni Mubarak has stepped down as president of Egypt after three decades on the job sent the New York tabloids into a creative frenzy. While the Daily News settled for a headline that played on Mubarak's name, the Post portrayed the ousted strongman as a mummy.
