I must admit to a certain glee at catching the Times in this kind of error, and I think pointing it out can only help to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen in the future. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the rest of the article after I emailed the Times and put up this post.</p> Steven, thanks for taking the time to comment over here.

I can honestly say that I just always assumed that Charles and Ray were brothers, and for whatever reason hadn’t collided with any information that disabused me of this notion until this morning.

The weird thing is that it’s much more difficult to get a web article corrected when the article is on the Times site — even though presumably there are hundreds of people employed to make sure the Times is as accurate as possible. It’s driving me a little nuts that it’s still on the site as of 9PM tonight…
