The New York Times doesn’t even seem to see the Palestinian flag and kaffiyeh on this statue at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.: George Mason Won, and Now It’s Found.

FAIRFAX, Va., March 27 — George Mason stood in the center of the campus that bears his name wearing a green-and-gold cape and other mementos of victory — a T-shirt, signs of support and, later in the day, green and gold balloons tied to his wrist. A proud bronze statue had gone schlock, and people stopped to take pictures.


The caption: "A statue of George Mason gained some accessories after the Patriots defeated Connecticut on Sunday to continue a remarkable run at the N.C.A.A. tournament."
