NY TIMES CORRECTS ITSELF
Two corrections from those super diligent editors at the NYTimes: In the first, we learn that someone in the editorial dept.is making sure they don't mislabel computer hard drives. Whew what a relief! We guess that's a lot more important than mislabeling 'terrorists' as 'militants', because the latter standard deception is not mentioned in correcton #2.
1)A picture in the Circuits pages of Business Day last Thursday with a brief report about a 160-gigabyte portable hard drive from Seagate was published in error. It showed a model holding 120 gigabytes, not 160. (Except for the capacity designation on the case, that model looks identical to the 160-gigabyte version.)
2)Because of an editing error, an article on Saturday about the Palestinian election victory by Hamas, the radical Islamic group, misidentified the young militants causing tensions with the old guard in the Fatah group, which Hamas defeated. They are from Fatah, not Hamas
