A headline on a report in The Caucus roundup yesterday, about The New
York Post’s error in reporting that Senator John Kerry had chosen
Richard A. Gephardt as his running mate in 2004, misstated the famous
headline in The Chicago Daily Tribune in 1948 when the paper declared
the wrong winner in the presidential race. The headline was “Dewey
Defeats Truman,” not “Dewey Beats Truman.” Link
