I would like the title to span the full page rather than the 1st column. Tufte provides fullwidth
for this however the title page overflows and shifts onto page 2.
Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (14.0pt):
Make it at least 25.54448pt.
We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.

Best Answer
I'm not sure you really want this.
The message about
\headheight is too small
is due to the long title in the heading, that I solved with a short title.
