THE CORRECTIONS: There's a new book coming out about funny corrections that have appeared in the "New York Times." It's called "Kill Duck Before Serving: Red Faces at The New York Times." Here's how the book got its name:

The correction that gives the book its title admitted that the paper had "incorrectly described a presentation of Muscovy duck by Michel Fitoussi, a New York chef. In preparing it, Mr. Fitoussi uses a duck that has been killed."

And from London, Andrew Sullivan has posted a funny correction that appeared in "The Guardian." (I pointed out the witty corrections from "The Guardian" earlier.)
