SOME CORRECTIONS YOU
MAY HAVE MISSED

BY PRUDENCE CROWTHER

 

Yesterday's lead editorial -- MAD COW DISEASE: IT CAN'T HAPQEWIUNERMN HERF, carried the wrong headline.

*

A front-page item Monday about a record settlement in a class action lawsuit misrepresented the plaintiffs. They have all lost their hearing in restaurants.

  *

An article in World Business on Wednesday garbled a remark by a Deutsche Neuralgikon spokesman. The correct quote is: "The plethora of corporate bloodletting could snowball as the rapid-fire reactions send the stalled economy into a total seizure."

*

The Tuesday Arts section cited the wrong affiliation for the art historian who demonstrated that if the mouth of the Mona Lisa is digitally manipulated, she does not appear to be smiling after all. It is CalArts.

*

A story on rising rents in Saturday's Real Estate section misquoted the actress looking at the apartment. What she said was: "Sure it's spacious -- if you've been cremated."

*

A report in yesterday's Metro Section about a sexual abuse investigation in the Bronx mislocated the spot where the police said the suspect befriended the horse. It is south of the Boat House, not north.

*

In an editorial concerning the Wen Ho Lee case on April 3, The New York Times probably should not have cited "a creepy feeling" as a source for asserting that the U.S. nuclear cupboard is practically bare. Still, why all the new Chinese restaurants? What's that about? We stand by our original inkling.

*

On Page 19 of Sunday's Arts section, a discussion of the typography of Hermann Zapf cited a dingbat in error. It is *, not *.

*

A roundup in the Friday Weekend section referred incorrectly to regional coverage of new choreography. "Mississippiiana" should have been spelled "Mississippiana." The pan appeared in The Tennessean, not Tennesseean. The part of the Delta was danced by Zhou Yi Ping (not Qiuhua Wen), and the part of Mark Twain by Tariq Mahmoud (not Suleiman Hamounah).

*

The shad recipe on Page F3 of the Dining In section on Thursday was not meant to have included molasses.

*

An article Saturday on the Environmental Protection Agency's announcement that it intended to roll back regulations on the lead content of paint despite protests from children's advocates truncated a remark by President Bush. The complete quote reads, "I am confident, and so should America."

*

Due to a transmission screwup, an obituary in Friday's paper for Louisa Starr, the first woman to take a fertility drug, omitted the last sentence. She is also survived by daughters Anna, Bibi, Cissy, Didi, Edie, Effie, and Gigi, all of New Orleans.

*

SportsWednesday's profile of researcher Randall Gomperz should have said that the kangaroo trampoline experiments conducted at Oxford were inconclusive.
