Error

Bloopers in Print

In the Waco, Neb., Peace Lutheran Church bulletin: “Last Sunday’s bulletin should have read: ‘Erich Honecker, the deposed communist leader of East Germany,’ rather than ‘the decomposed communist leader.’”
Correction printed in the Russellville, Ky., News-Democrat & Leader: “Dorothy Combs listed in the District Court news pleaded not guilty, not guilty.”
From the Fresno, Calif., Bee: An item about the Massachusetts budget crisis made reference to new taxes that will help put Massachusetts ‘back in the African-American.’ The item should have said ‘back in the black.’”
In the Chicago Tribune: “The last sentence of Mike Royko’s column was omitted in some editions of Thursday’s Tribune. The last line should have said: ‘eeeeyaaach.’ The Tribune regrets the error.”
