Certainly, Dowd's use of the ellipses and unmarked capitalization of the "T" --- as in [T] --- contrary to the original demonstrate intent to deceive.

The NYT has been a skewed and inaccurate rag for decades; even their use of halftones (photos) is manipulative. But I think one can date the portent of modern ills from that infamous day in which Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. placed on the front page Maureen Dowd's pathetic piece declaring that Nancy Reagan was slipping Frank Sinatra in through the back door of the White House for trysts!?!

More importantly, if a two-bit, youthful hustler can scam the supposedly high-caliber editors of the NYT for so many years, what can and do experienced "information hustlers" (i.e., PR people, foreign spokesmen, etc.) around the world accomplish?

That bears repeating!
