John Kerry's apology for remarks interpreted by many as demeaning to U.S. troops in Iraq did better in the major newspapers today — with page one coverage in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and USA Today.

But it again failed to crack the front page of The New York Times — which had only a passing mention of the apology in an inside page story about the president's support of Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.

A subsequent column called Kerry a "punching bag" and blamed the flap on "a single word left out" of a joke.
