Feeling Gravity’s Pull

From today’s NY Times corrections page:

An article in Science Times on Tuesday answering the question "What Is Gravity, Really?" misstated part of Newton's law of universal gravitation. The force attracting two masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, not simply to the distance.

Proof positive that you can’t trust the times on “weighty” matters. (Yuk-yuk)
