Writing a news lead (or lede)

1.Who: Michael and Robert Meeropol
   What: Found out their father was a spy
   When: July 1950
   Where: Lower East Side
   Why: Cooperation with Soviet propaganda campaigns
   How: F.B.I. agents arrested them
   Lead: They were the most famous orphans of the cold war, only 6 and 10 years old in 1953 when  their   parents were executed at Sing Sing for delivering atomic-bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. Then they were whisked from an unwanted limelight to urban anonymity and eventually to suburban obscurity.
   My lead: Michael and Robert Meeropol were so young when their parents were arrested and supposedly helping the Soviet Union in the early 1950s. The Rosenberg couple have struggled to prove their innocence but ended up with death penalty because following the facts just wasn't enough.


2.Who: Action Comics No. 1
   What: Is being sold after being hidden since 1966
   When: February 2009
   Where: An online auction site
   Why: The comic is one of only 100 made and only one out of 20 that is not restored and untouched
   How: The man found his copy of the comic in his garage and held onto it without telling anyone waiting for the value to increase
   Lead: After being hidden away for years, a copy of the original "Action Comics No. 1" comic book, featuring Superman and friends, will make a comeback -- to the tune of about $400,000, a comic expert told CNN Thursday.
   My lead: A man has held a comic for a long time since 1938 waiting for the sell price to rise. Right now the price is like 400,000 and possibly would rise.
