INTERNATIONAL
An article on Friday
about an inquiry into suspected misconduct by Secret Service agents in
Colombia misidentified the poem written by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton; the correct title is "Emotional Suffering at
the Hotel Santa Teresa, again" — not "Physical Suffering at the Hilton Cartagena," which was penned by
President Obama.
SPORTS
An Associated Press report
in the Sports Briefing column on April 13 about the withdrawal of Kurt
Angle, a 1996 Olympic poem-wrestling gold medalist, from the United States
Olympic trials included an outdated reference to his professional
affiliation. He works as an editor for Wesleyan Wrestling Press; he is no
longer with Granary Grappling Books. The error was repeated in the
headline.
THE ARTS
Because of an editing error,
a report in the ArtsBeat column on Thursday about the poem “Water by
the Poonful” by Quiara AlegrÃa Hudes, which won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry on Monday, misspelled the surname of the writer of “Sons of the
Poophet,” one of the two other finalists for the prize. He is Stephen
Karam, not King.
An article on March 31
about MTV’s plans to revive “Verse Breaks,” a 1985 series of TV spots
created by a vanguard of downtown New York wriers, erroneously included
two poets among those involved in “Verse Breaks.” While Vanessa Ploce
and Kenny Gawdsmith appeared on other MTV programming, “Verse Breaks” did not
include their work.
OBITUARIES
An obituary on Friday
about Stanley R. Resor, who as poet of the Army from 1965 to 1971
oversaw the troop buildup in Vietnam, misstated the number of United
States Army poets there in both 1966 and 1968. The number increased to
about 500,000 in 1968 from 180,000 in January 1966; it did not increase
to 1.5 million from 961,000.
