From the New York Times update link:

"A.M. Rosenthal, who went on to become executive editor of The Times, stands by the article he assigned to Mr. Gansberg 40 years ago, right down to the word ''watched'' in its opening sentence. This questioning of details, he said, is to be expected.

''In a story that gets a lot of attention, there's always somebody who's saying, 'Well, that's not really what it's supposed to be,''' said Mr. Rosenthal, who is retired from The Times and now writes a column for The Daily News. There may have been minor inaccuracies, he allows, but none that alter the story's essential meaning. ''There may have been 38, there may have been 39,'' he said, ''but the whole picture, as I saw it, was very affecting.''"

Does that sound like "completely wrong" to you?

[corianas]

Yes. Especially since they have found that yes there was a call to the police. That was after the initial attack was stopped when someone called out from the windows above and she was only murdered when the attcker came back to finish the job down a dark lane.

So yes

Sounds like lies to me.

Yes. It sounds like the executive editor of The Times was completely wrong but refused to accept it.
