[Ipg-smz] The train from hell?

[Christine Hall]

"Public transportation needs to get to the level where an event like 
this brings out the 60pt headlines, or electronic equivalent."

One morning shortly after I moved to NYC in '69, there was a subway 
accident that resulted in a full page headline and photo on the front 
page of the Daily News. The headline proclaimed in huge type above and 
below the photo - "Forty Thousand Delayed!" Below that, along the bottom 
of the page, in much, much smaller type - "Two People Dead"

That was quite an education on priorities for this 18-year-old kid who'd 
just moved to the big city.
