Heading things up

Medellín, COLOMBIA--Last week was a good week for headlines. Here's my top three, working from the back:
3. The lede that follows outshines this headline, but I still like it:
"¡Que Pena! Invaluable Goya stolen in Bogotá." (Good thing they didn't steal a Modigliani -- or anything with more than four letters.)
2. This story, at first glance, didn't offer much in the way of headline material, but a stroke of inspiration made something out of nothing: "
Colombians causing trouble in paradise."
1. Credit the story, nothing more: "
Devil possesses more Ouija-playing teenage girls."
