Out of place

The Las Vegas Sun reported that its Fox affiliate sells product-placement spots to McDonald's during its morning newscasts (http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/jul/21/eye-opener-pitch/). (Here's The New York Times' account: www.nytimes.com/2008/07/22/business/media/22adco.html?_r=1&oref=slogin).

Tucked into this New York Times correction (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/09/pageoneplus/corrections.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=corrections&st=nyt&oref=slogin) - about a boy's injured feet in Zimbabwe - is something else of interest. The Times did a good job
