February 28, 1998
An Olympic gold medal for headline of the year goes to your headline writer who created your Feb. 21 Saturday headline of Tara! Tara! Tara! to celebrate Tara Lipinski’s triumph at the Olympics in Nagano.
I laughed, I cried, I marveled at the creativity behind your wordsmiths who seldom fail to give me a lot more than I pay for with my daily issue of the Post-Gazette. My only concern is for how many people alive today actually know that the code word for Japan’s “Day of Infamy” when they attacked Pearl Harbor was “Tora! Tora! Tora!”
