The New York Times should check their facts

Even The New York Times makes mistakes – how very sobering. In today’s ‘Fashion’ section, which dealt with the Academy Awards fashion statements and parties, they ran a picture of the popular Richard Gere with Carey Lowell, whom they identified as “his companion”. Yikes – what a faux pas. The couple, who have been together for ages, and even have a child (or two), actually made it legal about one year ago, and got married in a fairly high profile setting.
