"Last Word"-Historic Headlines

Wednesday, November 05, 2008

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, Barack Obama's election victory is big news around the world and at the Newseum in Washington, DC nearly 700 front pages from newspapers around the world were on display today and "history" seemed to be the buzzword for many. Among them: "Historic Victory"; "Obama Seizes Historic Win"; and of course, "Obama Makes History." Others read "A New Dawn" and simply "Obama." And Jeff, Obama's victory was good for newspapers sales. Across the country newsstands sold out. And the "New York Times" printed 50,000 extra copies after its initial run ran out. Other people did what I did. I saved my copy.

YASTINE: Same here. I saved the local paper myself.
