Obama's Boffo Headline

How monumental was Obama’s election? Well, The New York Times announced the event by printing the word “Obama” on its front page in 96-point type, which it has only used on three other occasions: the moon landing, Nixon’s resignation, and September 11. "It told the story. Less is more," said a Times spokesperson. It was apparently a wise decision: The papers are selling for upwards of $100 on Ebay.
