Some readers in The Times' East zone, which includes the San Gabriel Valley and Riverside, were startled to see "dummy" headlines in the National Briefing column on Page A22.
About 55,000 papers were printed before the error was discovered.
Readers feared that all the copy editors had been laid off, or even "massacred," as one put it.
But according to Operations Editor Dave Rickley, Page A22 for the East zone was not touched -- or seen -- by the newsroom.
The page was sent by editors to the pressroom with headlines written and in place.
