they have found a second parchment copy.

So where did the Harvard University researchers find the first parchment copy in England? Oh, they didn't!

Even [/sarc] the Boston globe does not hire writer who can write or editors who can edit.

No one teaches plain English anymore.

How about "A parchment copy of the Declaration of Independence found in England," which is also bad writing because it is passive voice, but perhaps forgivable in a headline.

Lemon juice and a blow-dryer and hold your mouth just so.
