As another "relaxing" event for all of you, let's play
"Headline Chasers." The subject for this thread is about the
Presidential Elections. Go back to the 1980 election (I didn't but if
you can help me, that'll be great!) and record what the front-page
headline was at that time.

Example:
WASHINGTON _POST_
Wed Nov 04 84: Reagan Wins Reelection in Landslide, Largest Electoral
College Total Ever
	Subtitle: Victory Shows Broad Appeal Of President. Article
begins: Ronald Wilson Reagan won a landslide reelection victory as
President of the United States yesterday, gaining a mandate for
continuation of his conservative policies from voters all across
America.

Wed Nov 09 88: Bush Elected 41st President by Large Margin As Democrats
Retain Dominance in Congress
	Subtitle: GOP Loses Ground in Governorships. Article begins:
George Herbert Walker Bush, campaigning on the peace and prosperity of
the Reagan era, yesterday was elected President of the United States.

Wed Nov 04 92: Clinton Elected 42nd President in Sweeping Victory Over
Bush

You get the drift?

If you want to discuss any of these headline comparisons, please change
the Subject: line appropriately.

My favorite is this one:

_USA TODAY_
Wed Nov 04 84: THERE HE GOES AGAIN Reagan off to 2nd term in 49-state
sweep. [Side article: "Congress: Coattails too short"]
	Article begins: "President Ronald Reagan won re-election Tuesday
in a landslide of historic proportions, but his impressive personal win
fell short of realigning the balance of power in Congress."

Wed Nov 09 88: Bush: 'We'll move again' (subtitle: Reaches out to
Congress).
	Article begins: "George Bush was elected the 41st President of
the United States Tuesday by a large margin -- but without the mandate
enjoyed by Ronald Reagan."

And of course, Wed Nov 04 92: LANDSLIDE


Finally:
Los Angeles _Times_
Wed Nov 07 84: 49-State Reagan Triumph (Lottery Wins; Jarvis, Remapping
Lose) Subtitles: * GOP Gains in House, Keeps Senate Lead; * President
Draws 59% of Vote in Landslide

Wed Nov 09 88: Bush Wins, Vows to Seek Unity (Democrats Keep Grip on
Congress; Wilson Reelected)

Wed Nov 04 92: ??? (The Duke Library does not yet have this issue.)
