Discerning readers know that the most consistently entertaining section of the New York Times (and most papers, really) lives below the fold on page two: The Corrections.

For years, it was amusing to spot in the Times minor factual errors ("Oak Road," rather than "Oak Street") listed alongside major-league gaffes ("1,000 dead," rather than "1,000 injured"). But in the wake of the Wen Ho Lee spy case and the Jayson Blair imbroglio, the paper finally distinguished the two, giving minor errors their own section ("For the Record") and horrific blunders a separate category ("Editor's Note").
