From today's NYT bridge column:

North must not be cowered into passing.

No. The verb you want is "cowed."

It's not like this was breaking news, you know. There was probably time for an editor to review this copy before it went to press.

Given the layoffs that the Times has had recently, I wouldn't be surprised that their copyediting standards have fallen.
