Hell, I don't know the name of the aide, and I live in Providence. Yes, the name of the judge is more relevant to the Times' complaint, but the cause of leaving it out is probably the same - parochialism and simple laziness, more than anything else. But in a national newspaper, to focus on one Rhode Island judge is hardly that important. The Times editorial doesn’t name the corrupt mayor (Buddy Cianci) or his bribe-handling aide, either.

The name of the Federal judge does nothing for me, though. (West coast parochialism? Go, Ninth Circuit!) Perhaps The Times left it out because nobody cares.
