“How was it written in the first place?” is really my question. This isn’t some small typo. The writer did it on purpose either out of ignorance or malice, and no one corrected it on the way out [or someone(s) chose not to for the same possible reasons - ignorance or malice].
Small note. The writer didn’t choose the title, the editorial staff at the Boston Globe did. The person who actually wrote the article, Greg Beacham is a writer for the Associated Press, which syndicates their stories to papers worldwide. Those papers are then allowed to choose the headline they run with if they decide to run it. That’s why he’s included in the apology. He talked about it over on his Twitter.
So I have a hard time believing anything other than actual malice on the part of the Globe’s editorial staff.

No explanation is good.
