“FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD” was the Daily News headline of October 30, 1975. New York City had been seeking federal help to get out of its fiscal crisis. “Drop dead!” is a Yiddish-ism and President Gerald Ford never actually said the words, but the headline was powerful enough for New York City readers. Ford was not re-elected. http://www.barrypopik.com/article/201/tabloid-headlines-ford-to-city-drop-dead
