The Times mixes it up

The New York Times uses a bust of Epicurean philosopher Metrodorus mislabeling it as Aristotle. I guess, as long as they're ancient and in marble they're interchangeable. The demise of classical education indeed.

Well, for the Jewish NYT all Europeans look just the same and so does the rest of the world, no wonder they cant distinguish such busts.

Um, excuse me. What does that have to do with anything? I don't think Charles Murray is Jewish.
