"for" = of

[Joel S. Berson]

To my regret, I'm beginning to sympathize with Jon.  :-)  But for the
converse confusion.

A headline in the business section of the New York Times today --

"Attendants Of British Air Plan Walkout Next Week"

(Must have been a deliberate choice -- "Of" is capitalized here,
unlike both "of" and "for" in an adjacent headline.)
