Front Page Tally: April 12

Monday, 12 April 2010 | by Pat's Picks

Phil Mickelson’s win at the Masters made the front page of every newspaper in the top 30 except one; the St. Louis Post-Dispatch printed mostly local news instead. After a plane crash in Russia that claimed 96 lives over the weekend, eighteen papers reported on the public outpouring of grief in Poland as the body of its president was returned for burial. A summit in Washington saw representatives of 47 nations, including President Obama, gathering to discuss the prevention of terrorist groups obtaining nuclear weapons. That story was covered in 16 publications. Ten newspapers reported on findings by the Associated Press that Toyota has used “evasive” tactics in the past when fighting lawsuits.
