“Our paper carried the notice last week that Mr. Oscar Hoffnagle is a defective on the police force. This was a typographical error. Mr. Hoffnagle is, of course, a detective on the police farce. "
The problem is that sometimes corrections turn out to be defectives on the paper's policing farce. At other times, the corrections that turn out to be icorrections make you wonder what the newspaper is trying to correct:
1. The Pacific Rim column in yesterday's Business/ Extra section should have read that "Fine Boys is a leading Japanese fashion magazine for guys," not gays. The Chronicle regrets the editing error.
2. Our report on Monday said, that up to 6 million had died in a gun battle in Sri Lanka. It should have read up to 6 militants died in a gun battle.
3. Due to an error, the October 22 story on the ABC bond read that John Gorham said "diddly squat" when asked to explain its value. The story should have read that we were unable to reach Gorham for comment. We apologize for the error.
4. The article about the Ladies' Craft Club should have stated Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Smith have talks on"smocking and rugs," not "smoking and drugs," as previously reported.
5. For the old-style corn chowder recipe from the Wooden Spoon column: Add one big onion, not one bag of onions.
6. An article in Saturday's local edition incorrectly reported that a suspect who had been indicted by a federal grand jury had been identified as "Fnu Lnu." "Fnu Lnu" is not a name. "Fnu" is a law-enforcement abbreviation for "first name unknown" "Lnu" for "last name unknown."
7. Burlington County Commissioner Bert Greenough has 100 percent support from his family, not 10 percent, as was stated in last week's article on Greenough's announcement to seek re-election.
8. The “Candidates on Television” listing yesterday misspelled the name of the vice president in some editions. It is Quayle, not Quale. The Tmise regrets the error
9. The Auctions column in Weekend yesterday misidentified a brand of watch. It is a World Time, not a Wald-heim. [Oh well, that's what happens when you forget to Adenhauer. ] (Add an hour – аллюзия на фамилию бывшего канцлера ФРГ Конрада Аденауэра).
10. Erroneous information was inadvertently inserted into the biographical summary accompanying a story on Joseph Argyle. Mr. Argyle cannot simultaneously whistle, stand on his head, and drink beer.
