It's always stuck out to me so I'd like to put a name to it. You don't see headlines written like this in the UK.
- bshimmin 12y agoThis is the general grammatical term for that sort of construct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apposition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apposition The "For" bit does seem somewhat unique to this style of headline, and I don't know the name (or if there even is a name) for that as a whole.
