An “error”
An Editor’s note:
A headline in yesterday’s City & Region section on a story about the return to Logan Airport of the body of an American soldier
who died of wounds suffered in Iraq used quotation marks around the
word hero. The headline should have made clear that quotation marks
were being used because the pilot of the plane had announced to
passengers that a hero was on board. Without that context, the headline
appeared to call into question the soldier’s heroism.
