Urgent: Headline Awaited!

There's dire news from India. The newspaper The Indian Express warns us that "headline awaited." It declared this fact in all eight regional editions, indicating that the entire nation faces this crisis. Blah, blah, blah.

Or, more likely, the editors were unsure who was going to win the national election on that day. It is a less erroneous headline than the infamous "Dewey Defeats Truman" from the 1952 US Presidential election.
