"The "Front page headline" is defined as the text accompanying and displayed above the largest photograph on the front page of Sunday's print edition."
There is no text above the largest photo in today's, Sunday, New York Times (NYC Edition) ... the text appears below the largest photo.
My 'common sense' hit is that this ought settle using the text below ... otherwise, I guess, it could be voided.
(First letter is a consonant: "T")

Does this work? Let me know if you think it should be further clarified.
does the edition need to be specified? probably. i'd vote for National, but either is fine by me. it's probably just wise to specify one, so that arguments don't arise, if the editions have different headlines.
(other than the small type indicating the edition ;-)
That said, I'd specify one or the other.
