Musetto was a longtime news editor and film critic for the Post.

He wrote the headline "Headless Body in Topless Bar," which appeared on the newspaper's front page on April 15, 1983, for a story about the killing of a bar owner who was shot and beheaded.

Interesting article.

His title though did some injustice to victim by making light of the crime.
