asked:
*Did we ever figure out what those are called,
those brief mentions on the front page of a
newspaper section announcing and promoting a
particular article/column on an inside page?
It's not exactly a subhead, but what is it?

My son, who is a reporter for the Vineland Daily Journal, tells me they are called "jumps".  This is a different meaning than the continuation of a story on another page, which is also called a "jump".
