  • These foretellings included "a rocky romantic affair between Superstar Madonna and Superwitness Kato Kaelin", "public disclosure that a coffeehouse chain uses narcotics in their brewing process" and that "sales at the cafes will plummet but only for a day or two", "Author J.D. Salinger finally publishing a new novel and hitting the talk show circuit to promote it", "exposure of the real reason for the 1983 U.S. Invasion on Grenada, causing future historians to regard this military action as the most significant moment of the twentieth century", and "the revelation that not Elvis, but rather Buddy Holly is still alive, having faked his own death so many years ago. Holly will not only reemerge but also regroup with The Crickets, and they will headline in next year's lollapallazo."

  • These foretellings included "a rocky romantic affair between Superstar Madonna and Superwitness Kato Kaelin", "public disclosure that a coffeehouse chain uses narcotics in their brewing process" and that "sales at the cafes will plummet but only for a day or two", "Author J.D. Salinger finally publishing a new novel and hitting the talk show circuit to promote it", "exposure of the real reason for the 1983 U.S. Invasion on Grenada, causing future historians to regard this military action as the most significant moment of the twentieth century", and "the revelation that not Elvis, but rather Buddy Holly is still alive, having faked his own death so many years ago. Holly will not only reemerge but also regroup with The Crickets, and they will headline in next year's lollapallazo." On 16 September 1995, Clyde Bruckman studied a copy of this article, inside a store in St. Paul. Bruckman thought that Yappi's prediction about Madonna and Kato Kaelin was "a gimme" and "not really stepping out on a limb", and that the foretelling of J.D. Salinger's future was "just playing the odds", but Bruckman nevertheless bought the newspaper copy he had been reading from.
