Walking out of the train this morning I noticed that the New York Post and the Daily News had come up with the exact same headline for the Michael Jackson story: "Boy, Oh Boy!" (give or take a comma). Which is a little surprising 'cause the News usually goes for a more "facty" headline, but I guess they couldn't resist in this case...
Because I'm a geek, I was reminded of the first time in my memory that the tabs had the same cover headline - a much more unlikely one for a much less all-consuming story in the mid 80's, with "DRAGNET OUT FOR COP KILLER." I think there may have been a few more instances since then, but if I learned anything from John Hughes movies, it's that you never forget your first time...
