"Atty Had to Lay Off Wife" (from the ABA Journal).
Update: From the same source, a clue as to why some lawyers may have to sleep alone.

Beavers contain Trojans; pundits proved wrong again.
Once again, the pundits have to eat crow for declaring Southern Cal a presumptive national champ early in the season. Last year it was the Stanford Cardinal who pulled off the big upset. This time it was Oregon State, by a score of 27-21. There's cacophony in Corvallis tonight.
Update: My Sitemeter tells me that someone in Seattle hit on this post by doing a Google search for "Beavers contain Trojans". By coincidence, one of my favorite perhaps unintentionally raunchy headlines came from the Seattle area. This was told to me at the bar of the Lion's Head by a friend who had worked as a journalist in Seattle before moving to New York. It concerned the outcome of a congressional race between incumbent Democrat Norm Dicks and a Republican named Beaver in a mostly suburban district south of the city. The morning after the election, the paper proclaimed: "Dicks Drills Beaver in Bedroom Community Race."
And, while we're on that subject, Mike McLaughlin of The Brooklyn Paper recently came up with this. Considering his present state of mind, I don't think it was unintentional.

Department of intriguing headlines.
Here.
Unfortunately, the story is a bit of a letdown.
Update: The link doesn't work any more, but since you're dying to know, the headline was "World Bank's Wolfowitz admits erred on girlfriend," which kinda brought to mind Phil Rizzuto's baserunning narrative that accompanied Meat Loaf's and Ellen Foley's duet on "Paradise by the Dashboard Light".
Extra! Rundeep takes my reference and runs with it, giving us this paraphrase of "Paradise":
STOP RIGHT THERE!
I wanna know right now,
before we go any further
will you fire me, will I be
there forever, will you need me,
will the bank never leave me
Well, I've made it such a big part of my life
I could never leave just to become
your wife:
Let me sleep on it,
baby, baby
Let me sleep on it.
I'll have a nap
and I'll send them a memo in the
morning.
