KENAN WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM:  NYT Correction of the Year?

    But where does it rank on the list of all time great Times Corrections? Certainly after the Gore Vidal obit:


    Correction: August 3, 2012
    An obituary on Gore Vidal on Wednesday included several errors. Mr. Vidal called William F. Buckley Jr. a crypto-Nazi, not a crypto-fascist, in a television appearance during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. While Mr. Vidal frequently joked that Vice President Al Gore was his cousin, genealogists have been unable to confirm that they were related. And according to Mr. Vidal’s memoir “Palimpsest,” he and his longtime live-in companion, Howard Austen, had sex the night they met, but did not sleep together after they began living together. It is not the case that they never had sex.



    Somewhere on the level of misidentifying Dick Cheney as President of the United States?
