What was, and what could have been

For major news events, such as elections and big sports games, the Page One editors often design two versions of the Globe's front using older pictures as placeholder images until the photos from the event arrive. After the news occurs and the page is remade to reflect reality, these mock-ups are often discarded. But occasionally they're found on a computer or tacked to a wall in someone's office, offering a glimpse - sometimes painful - into an alternate universe.
