What's the score?

In a case of flagrantly irresponsible journalism, the New York Times website carries this headline: "Scores Reported Killed in Blasts at Moscow Concert" on an article that says that the number of dead at the concert is reported as 13 or 20. Last I heard "scores" had to be at least 40.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
Those who can write, write. Those who can't write, become famous editors.
