An article on Saturday about Sam Adams, the mayor of Portland, who is under fire after admitting that in 2005 he had a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old intern, included a quotation from Christopher Stowell, the artistic director for the Oregon Ballet Theater, who attended a rally in support of the mayor. Mr. Stowell said that while he was upset with the mayor, he believed that instead of allowing him to resign, “I think we should force him to do the job.”
After the article was published, several readers reported that Mr. Stowell and the mayor had had a romantic relationship; Mr. Stowell confirmed that they did, for a few months in 2004. If The Times had turned up the information earlier, it would have been included in the article. Link
