< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence What's 'Whoops!' Times 135?![]() COME CORRECT Sorensen An article on Saturday about fund-raising efforts in New York by Senator Barack Obama misspelled the surname of one of President John F. Kennedy's closest advisers, who introduced Mr. Obama at a fund-raiser. He is Theodore C. Sorensen, not Sorenson. The error also appeared in an article in The Arts on Feb. 22 about books written by candidates, including "Profiles in Courage," which then-Senator Kennedy wrote with guidance from Mr. Sorensen. (The Times has misspelled Mr. Sorensen's surname more than 135 times in headlines and articles during the 50-plus years he has been a Democratic adviser and well-known author.) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad they've got no problem with.
The correction needs a correction. Sorensen is widely know to have written the whole book (Profiles In Courage). Saying it was written by Kennedy with Sorensen's "guidance" is a polite fiction. Posted by: peterfeld on March 12, 2007 1:06 PM Advertisement |
