Okay, I often wondered if the engaged in that practice of changing their own headlines on articles to get more hits.

To prove to myself and you I didn't deliberately or erroneously post the wrong headline or alter the headline I did an internet search of the original headline, "He Gambles. He Tips Staff. He Eats Alone. All the While, He’s Stocking His Vegas Suite With Guns.":

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=He+Gambles.+He+Tips+Staff.+He+Eats+Alone.+All+the+While%2C+He%E2%80%99s+Stocking+His+Vegas+Suite+With+Guns.&ia=web

You will find multiple links that show the original headline.

Here are just a few:

Interestingly when you look at the search results for the original headline I posted from the NYT you will find a link to the NYT included in the search results but when you go to the link you will find the changed headline.

I stuck to the FR rule to only post the original headline.

It was the NYT that altered their own headline.
