Always thought it was just to sound more swanky and dynamic, as "It's happening now!!" is supposed to be more exciting than "It already happened and by the time you read this, it will be all over." How is it that "some newspapers" can be directly defined as a single one, especially a [politics] [politics] rag? More 451/1984? But this subject should not escape without posting some funny ones that were really printed:
- TYPHOON RIPS THROUGH CEMETERY; HUNDREDS DEAD
- MAN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING FACES BATTERY CHARGE
- NEW STUDY OF OBESITY LOOKS FOR LARGER TEST GROUP
- IRAQI HEAD SEEKS ARMS
- MINERS REFUSE TO WORK AFTER DEATH
- BRITISH LEFT WAFFLES ON FALKLAND ISLANDS
- WAR DIMS HOPE FOR PEACE
- IF STRIKE ISN'T SETTLED QUICKLY, IT MAY LAST A WHILE
- COLD WAVE LINKED TO TEMPERATURES
- BANK DRIVE-IN WINDOW BLOCKED BY BOARD
