NEW YORK (March 31) - It's the coldest of cold cases, and yet 70 years after Amelia Earhart disappeared, clues are still turning up.


I thought this was one of the worst leads I have seen in a while, the "coldest of cold cases" just sounds awkward and stupid. I think it is weird to use the word cold in this context. I also think that such an amazing story could have been written with more of an excting first sentence; the fact that people posibly found clues to what happened to Amelia Earhart is an incredibly big deal since she is so respected as a female heroine. Simply saying "clues are still turning up" does not grab my attention really at all. The writer of this article needs to re-think the lead in my opinion.
