English term

Legality of Special Audit is the Authority of Law Enforcers

English Law/Patents Journalism verb or adverb?
For a title of an article, we have to drop 'to be'. Then if i drop 'is' as below, doesnt make it sound strange, what do u think native speakers?

Legality of Special Audit is the Authority of Law Enforcers

Good suggestion, thanks
RHELLER Apr 29, 2005:
may I suggest that you use journalism instead of general conversation/greetings as your category? it may help us to understand that this is a headline (telegraphic style)
msherms Apr 29, 2005:
Do you mean that it is within the power of law enforcement to decide whether special audits are permissible /legal?
Non-ProZ.com Apr 29, 2005:
thats from a title of a newspaper, and a newspaper often does that
Can Altinbay Apr 29, 2005:
Is this a directive from your client? Why do you have to drop the verb to be?
I hate to inform you that I already don't understand the title. If you'd explain it a bit more, I might be able to suggest something.
