The headline that cost President Ford
the election

In case you have the slightest doubt as to the
power of a headline, consider this. The late
William Brink, former managing editor of The
Daily News of New York, was responsible for
one of the most memorable headlines in
American history:

"Ford to City: Drop Dead"

The context was that President Gerald Ford had
declined to bail New York City out of its fiscal
crisis.

President Ford later acknowledged these five
words lost him New York State in 1976 in his
race against Jimmy Carter, and with it, the
presidency.
