He had scarcely reached the street before a newsboy thrust a morning paper toward him. Frank saw that the upper half of the front page was covered with large black headlines. He snatched it, tossing the boy a "two-bit piece," and, without waiting or thinking of the change, became absorbed in the startling information it conveyed.
The fact that my triumphs were modestly set forth gave me more pleasure than if they had been trumpeted in headlines. Although I might have started out in practice for myself, my affection and regard for Mr. Watling kept me in the firm, which became Watling, Fowndes and Paret, and a new, arrangement was entered into: Mr. Ripon retired on account of ill health.
Captain James's answers about the possibility of the radar targets' being caused by temperature inversions had been construed by the press to mean that this was the Air Force's answer, even though today the twin sightings are still carried as unknowns. The next morning headlines from Bangor to Bogota read: AIR FORCE DEBUNKS SAUCERS AS JUST NATURAL PHENOMENA
Can't you see that?" "No. What are they after?" "Sensation." Banneker turned the word over in his mind, evoking confirmation in the remembered headlines even of the reputable Ledger. "Sensation," repeated the other. "We've got the speed-up motto in industry.

That night, under glaring headlines, the evening papers told the story, reporting one fisherman fatally hurt, one striker dead of a gunshot wound, and many others injured.
Rilla rushed madly home from the office waving the Enterprise with its big red headlines. Susan ran out with trembling hands to hoist the flag. The doctor stalked about muttering "Thank God." Mrs. Blythe cried and laughed and cried again. "God just put out His hand and touched them 'thus far no farther'," said Mr. Meredith that evening. Rilla was singing upstairs as she put the baby to bed.
He feared not, and he was racked with anxiety as to whether he should cross that day to France and seek another interview with Mr. Coburn. But, even as he sat with the morning paper in his hand, news was nearer than he imagined. Listlessly he turned over the sheets, glancing with but scant attention to the headlines, automatically running his eyes over the paragraphs.
He went to bed with the blood of battle throbbing in his veins. In the morning he had a reasonable joy in seeing the headlines of his candidature in the papers.

It seemed absurd that before he had struck a blow he should be advertised like a general in the field.
