@RL_Dane One of the most famous headlines of the modern era on the October 30, 1775 Edition of the New York Daily News, "Ford to City: Drop Dead." President Ford did not say those exact words -- the Daily News was paraphrasing with an editorial spin. Backstory: NYC was on the ropes financially and was seeking a bailout from the feds before it was forced into defaulting and bankruptcy. The day previously, Ford gave a speech indicating that wasn't going to happen.
