Why was the headline on the newspaper on the cover of _Permanent Waves_ blocked out?

(Note: The Anthem Canadian release does not have this problem.) “There are always the inevitable last minute crises, such as the Chicago Daily Tribune being still so embarrassed about their ‘Dewey defeats Truman’ error of more than thirty years ago that they actually refused to let us use it on the cover!” – Neil Peart, in the _Permanent Waves_ tourbook To clarify this: When Harry Truman ran against Thomas Dewey for president, Truman lost in most of the states with early returns. So, it looked like Dewey was going to win. The Tribune released an early morning paper the next day with a “Dewey defeats Truman” headline.
