Corrections
{This is from page 2 of the new york times today. A long list of corrections. Wouldn’t it be nice if the local papers here did the same thing?}
Because of a production error, an erroneous version of Page A1 - prepared for other regions - appeared on Sunday in copies distributed in and around Arizona. As a result, the front-page sections of some articles did not match the continuations, and a few articles were omitted or duplicated. The affected articles may be found here today through Sunday. The page may also be requested from Production Quality Control, The New York Times, 229 West 43rd Street, New York, N.Y. 10036; telephone (212) 556-1992. E-mail: quality@nytimes.com. (Include a postal address.)
An article on Thursday about the killing of Samantha Runnion, a 5-year-old girl who was abducted outside her home in California, referred incorrectly to the findings of a study on children who were kidnapped and killed. The study, quoted by an expert in the article to explain the urgent need for quick action, found that 74 percent of the children’s deaths occurred within three hours of their abductions. It did not find that 74 percent of all kidnapped children were killed within three hours.
An article yesterday about comments by Peter N. Kirsanow, a member of the United States Conference on Civil Rights, that some Arab-American and civil rights groups say suggested tolerance for interning Arab-Americans, misstated his association with the Center for New Black Leadership. He is its former chairman, not the current one. The article also misstated the name of the organization headed by Wade Henderson, who called Mr. Kirsanow’s comments reckless. It is the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, not Leadership Commission.
An article on July 15 about a study by the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign included an erroneous comparison from the study’s sponsor on the risk to teenage drivers in Rhode Island, where seat belt use is low, and California, where it is high. Teenage drivers in serious crashes are 60 percent more likely to die in Rhode Island than in California, not five times as likely. The article also referred incorrectly to New Hampshire’s seat belt requirement. The state requires people under 18, including 16- and 17-year-old drivers, to wear belts; it is not without a belt law.
Because of an editing error, an article in Business Day yesterday about the finances of the El Paso Corporation and its dealings with investment bankers misidentified the Senate panel that is looking into ties between bankers and Enron, another energy company. It is the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, not the Finance Committee.
Because of an editing error, the Outdoors column on Monday, about fishing in the rain, referred incorrectly to David Taylor and George Semler, lodge guests with whom the columnist and his new bride had eaten breakfast. The men are brothers-in-law to each other, not brothers of the columnist’s wife.
A brief report in the Footlights column yesterday about an exhibition at the New-York Historical Society misstated the diameter of a plexiglass sphere bearing a painted panoramic view of the city as seen from the World Trade Center. It is 24 inches, not 24 feet.
The State of the Art column in Circuits on June 27, about ways to suppress pop-up advertising on the Web, referred incorrectly to the latest version of the Netscape browser. Unlike Mozilla and Chimera ?two programs that share its development origins ?Netscape has no setting to block unrequested windows.
A dance listing in the Arts & Leisure Guide on Sunday misstated the dates for some Manhattan performances this week in the Japan Society’s Dancing in the Streets series. Eiko and Koma will perform “Offering” at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza on 47th Street between First and Second Avenues at 8 tonight (it was not yesterday); at Tudor City Green South Park, 41st Street and Second Avenue, at 6 p.m. tomorrow (not today); and at Clinton Community Garden, 48th Street between Ninth and 10th Avenues, at 6:30 on Friday (not tomorrow).
