It's better to show the time in local time zone instead of UTC time in the time tooltip.

Hey there! The underlying data received from the NYT source is in UTC. We don't really want to add more client-side formatting to wrangle our JSON blob into local times.

Displaying local timestamp tooltips does not require modifying the underlying data. PR #253 only modifies the displayed timestamps in the html.tmpl.
