The Volokh Conspiracy - Ugliest NY Times Headline Ever!!

The headline in today's lead New York Times story (page 1, column 8 top):

" Studies on Pupils Say Bad Behavior Is Not Dooming."

"Dooming" as an adjective?? In a New York Times headline? Aargh . . .

(And interestingly enough, the headline of the web version of the story was the grammatically less grotesque "Bad Behavior Does Not Doom Pupils, Studies Say").
