Odds 'N Sods

These have been sitting around the file for more than a few weeks.  The first two are fine examples of the headline editors' art.  The first headline states the basic story in such a way that makes one want to read the rest, while the second makes it sound as if the article is about a government official battling addiction.

The third is really special: Whale on the boat!  [This almost happened to me once, as recounted here.]

1.  Female Runner Allowed to Compete as a Female

2.  High Obama aide to meet with Brewer

3.  Forty-ton whale lands on yacht
