The Understated Headline of the Day

From the New York Times:

Jackson’s Will Could Set Off Legal Struggle

"Could"? "Could", in this case, is like saying "the Sun could rise tomorrow morning." There are family members who were cut out of the will. The mothers of his children were cut out of the will. The will may have been written by insiders.

"Could" is a whopping understatement.

    From where I sit, the sun hasn't risen for many mornings!
