News headlines are typically NOT written by the author of the article. This is something I've heard many journalists complain about. To my knowledge, the Wikipedia article on Headlines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headline http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headline ) is quite accurate: "Headlines are generally written by copy editors, but may also be written by the writer, the page layout designer or a news editor or managing editor." So Gibson probably didn't write the headline.
