Newspaper articles we never finished reading

Today's LA Times has an article that starts like this:

WASHINGTON — House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, under fire for what critics describe as ethical lapses and political overreach, offered a rare apology Wednesday for "inartful" remarks criticizing federal judges.

The headline is "DeLay Tempers His Statements." It almost makes us wish that "Maura Reynolds, Times Staff Writer" had tempered hers a bit, too.
