GETTING IT NOT QUITE RIGHT AT THE TIMES
Two Items from the Metro Section

I found two notable lapses today, just breezing through the Metro (New York/Region) section:

"A Secret Society, Spilling a Few Secrets," by James Barron is an interesting take on the efforts of the Freemasons to boost their long-sagging membership and to reverse their creeping irrelevancy, but New York Times readers might like to know whether the secret society still harbors the religious biases that shaped, and arguably have defined, its history.

"Man Says Youths Accused of Killing Actress Robbed Him That Night ," by Anemona Hartocollis, provides a 550-word update on a January 2005 crime without telling readers where it occurred.
