JK mentioned in story about new World Bank nominees [View all]

The general story is in today's NYT, business section:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/24/business/global/dartmouth-president-is-obamas-pick-for-world-bank.html?_r=1&ref=business

But, weirdly the mention of JK is only in the hard copy edition! Here's what it says in the hard-copy paper. I wonder why these paragraphs were deleted from the web version (which is presumably the updated version. ):

"The White House had scrutinized Senator John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts: Lawrence H. Summers, the former Treasury secretary and Obama economic adviser; and Susan E. Rice, the United States ambassador for the United Nations, for the World Bank Job.
But all three might make good candidates for high-ranking administration positions in the event that President Obama won a second term. . "


Here's a similar section from Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/official-obama-to-nominate-dartmouth-college-president-to-head-world-bank/2012/03/23/gIQAAPLiVS_story_1.html
Kim’s selection ends a search that was closely held among a handful of top White House staff members and seemed initially to focus on major political figures such as Clinton and former Treasury secretary Lawrence H. Summers. Administration officials offered few details of the search but said Obama interviewed several candidates with backgrounds in various fields and wanted someone who agreed with him that poverty alleviation should be the bank’s central goal.
