An headline from this weekend's New York Times:

"Tacit silence on stem cell research in Missouri race" (I may have the end a
bit wrong, but the tacit silence bit is the point)

I got only 543 google hits for "tacit silence", not all of them real and
mostly from blogs etc. Has anyone run into "tacit" in this meaning in a
major source before?

Cheers,
Dan
