Question 1016: This is one for the books!



Easy sitter...
On November 3, 1948 this famous picture of a jubilant Harry Truman was taken right after he won the presidential election. What are the three words that have been blanked out from the headline?


Answer: quoting Rahul Varma, "
Dewey Defeats Truman" was a famously inaccurate banner headline on the front page of the Chicago Tribune on November 3, 1948, the day after incumbent United States President Harry S. Truman beat Republican challenger and Governor of New York Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 presidential election in an upset victory." The title is, by the way, Truman's words.

Its "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN"
Thomas Dewey was expected to be the winner & the Tribune wanted to be the 1st to publish the result by publishing even before the actual result came up..
