I can understand fellow researchers being confused (OK I can't, but I can at least try), but the New York Times ?

Why did AT&T get Shannon labs? I would've thought that they would've gotten Bell labs.

it didn't "get" shannon labs per se. As part of the divestiture, Lucent was allowed to keep the Bell Labs name, and AT&T named their labs Shannon Labs.
