It was supposed to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises.

The NY Post is the undisputed headline champion in the USA.
England and Germany have some pretty strong contenders.

when Ike Turner died, I think the New York Post (if I remember correctly) had a headline that read "IKE TURNER FINALY BEATS TINA TURNER TO DEATH".

I felt a smidgen bad about laughing at that one...
