Headline Game

This is a game similar to the ideology game or the quote game, but this time what we have is a headline. The rules are:

1) Headlines must be post 1900

2) No ASB

3) Next person writes the journalistic article that went with the headline. You don't have to write the whole article, just the first few sentences. However, if you want to write more or even the whole article that is okay.

4) No explaining away the headline, take the headline seriously and explain it in the ATL article.

5) The Headline is just the headline, but the article can include the Newspaper, location and date, or not.

So I'll start it off with this headline:

51st State!

"We hope that President Kemp's will reverse the previous administrations policies on this and take steps to return us to the lower levels of the Dukakis Administration," stated Daniel Cartwright, president of Green America, an environmental lobbying group.

Levels are now back to the levels of 1983. Levels rose from the beginning of testing them in the 1940s until 1972, when they reached the highest recorded levels. After the EPA was established during the Nixon administration and anti-pollution regulations were implements, levels began to decrease until 1997 when that trend reversed...
