I've noticed an article change or disappear from the NY Times in the
past. One morning an attorney for a major environmental group was
quoted in the NY Times on the subject of electric deregulation as
saying something like nothing bad happened in airline deregulation,
that "airplanes aren't falling from the skies." Later that day US
Air had a plane crash around Pittsburgh PA and either the whole
article or that quote disappeared.
You could say it was good taste to not have that in the paper the
day of a tragedy or you could say that poor analysis was being
protected.

how, specifically, did the article change?
Everything. The only things that are the same are the title of the
article and the date of its publication. Even the bylines are
different: the original article had two co-authors, and the new
article that substituted for it has only one author.
