was "call Nathan R" really mistakenly written by a New York Times intern?

Historically, we don't know (and probably never will...). That's probably why the show didn't clearly state it was one way or the other. But it's clearly not invented by the writers.

Some say it was an intern (FBI, papers... NY Times -- NY Times), some that it was a red-herring placed by the Unabomber to tease and confuse the Taskforce or one of the misleading tricks made to fool the FBI. Or just a mistake by Unabomber. Some say that it's Daniel Pride (beware of that source though, just here to show what has been said (or not), in all directions, because no one really knows, so theories go all the way, up and down, right and left).

Little was spared in the hunt. Working off a cryptic note left in Sacramento -- "Call Nathan R -- Wed 7 p.m." -- investigators compiled a 10,000-person list of every person in the country with the first name Nathan and a last name beginning with "R." They contacted everyone on the list.

The sweep came up empty. Some investigators now believe the note was nothing more than the Unabomber having a little fun with his pursuers. The Washington Post
