"Opinions Differ on Shape of the Earth"

In his 5 August column for the New York Times, Paul Krugman repeated his joke that if President Bush said the Earth was flat, the headlines of news articles the next day would read Opinions Differ on Shape of Earth. The headlines on many articles about the intelligent design controversy come pretty close, he said.

Now (22 August), the Times itself makes the point with both the title and the text of In Explaining Life's Complexity, Darwinists and Doubters Clash.
