Tomorrow Newspaper facts
While investigating facts about Tomorrow Newspaper, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The day before the 1996 US presidential election, the NYT Crossword contained the clue "Lead story in tomorrow's newspaper" -- the puzzle was built so that both electoral outcomes were correct answers, requiring 7 other clues to have dual responses
The New York Times published a crossword in 1996, during the Presidential election, which seemed impossible to answer. The clue for 39 Across was: "Lead story in tomorrow's newspaper" but both the answers "ClintonElected" or "BobDoleElected" could have fit.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 5 of the best facts about Tomorrow Newspaper I managed to collect.
