When you have to issue a retraction, you should update the article. The way the Times does it is to make the edit and then put a small note at the end of the article recording the original error. Like so: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/10/early-music-lessons-have-longtime-benefits/?src=me&ref=general http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/10/early-music-lessons....
