It's Ken Johnson, not Frank

In one of those sadly-shake-your-head production goofs, today's Bristol Press carries a front page headline that says "Johnson runs for mayor" or something akin to that. It directs readers to page 6 for the story.
Unfortunately, upon arriving on page 6, readers will find a tale about a Southington boy.
The story about the mayor's race is nowhere to be found.
GOP Chairman Art Mocabee said this morning he's getting a barrage of phone calls from people wondering which Johnson is running and how they can find the story.
Perhaps it'll be online later.
These things happen, even at The New York Times. There's nothing to be done except apologize for the confusion and try not to let it occur again, even though we all know it will. Let's just hope it's later rather than sooner.

Sometimes a headline is all it takes.
Here's what Ken Johnson wrote me:
