Looking for a lead sentence

Looking for a lead for the new year...who knows, but as I consider an article for Oklahoma Publisher in a few days, Looking for great leads...I can think of five off the top of my head.

Number one--newswriting primer, put the most important thing first, use strong noun and action verb. Put time first only if it's the news-- "In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth (also answered WWWW ). Spent the rest of the book answering why and how.

Others:

•  "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...." Talk about a great hook.
• "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."--summary lead at its best, for last year's wrap up.
• "When lilacs last int he dooryard bloomed, and the great star drooped...." same structure as number one, but more poetic.
• "Dead. That's what (name) was...." James Thurber. Go for the drama.
• "The last camel died at noon." Ken Follett. 

My question is always, "Would you keep reading?" which may also be why I'm so addicted to good headlines.

I know there are more. Give me your other suggestions.
