‘SACRED HEART BACK CHARGED WITH DRUG TRAFFICKING’

I dunno.

I just like the headline.

It has contrast (sacred/profane); it has linguistic ambiguity (If English weren’t your first language, wouldn’t you have a bit of a struggle with HEART BACK?).

And then the story itself – a football player at a Catholic college in Connecticut is a pretty significant oxycodone dealer – has some good elements. He’s from Florida, for instance… And down there – Pill Mill Capital of the Worldlots of folks sell pain pills… So many that universities might want to take special care with applicants from, say, Broward County (pain pill capital of the pain pill capital)…
