They've made worse mistakes in the paper addition, so I guess we can cut
them some slack on line.

Thanks. Rick. You have a good ear and eye.
I alerted my contact. I'm sure the Times will change it. I complained
about the very tense they screwed up in edit, and they changed it
immediately. The Times strives to make their interenet copy very
timely, so it's not subjected to as much scrutiny as the paper. Four
of the six blogs I wrote for them were uploaded virtually word for
word from my doc. I wrote number one in an order that wasn't rigidly
sequential, and they rearranged it to make it a strict "first to last"
piece. I wrote number five in present tense to give it a sense of
immediacy, and they changed it to past tense. I guess "what happened
when" matters more to a newspaper than it does to me.

Interesting story, Paul, and nicely written again.
The copy editor let through the wrong spelling of principal in the 2d
graph. Tsk, tsk NYT.
