A dispatch from Jerusalem in the international section of today's New York Times refers to "Larry Shartz, the spokesman for the American Embassy in Tel Aviv." The man's last name is correctly spelled "Schwartz," not "Shartz."
'St. Anne's': An article in the Fashions of the Times magazine section this morning is about a pink dress. "Posen met Malle through her cousin Aura at St. Anne's School in Brooklyn, which is also where he met Lola and Stella Schnabel and de la Huerta," the Times reports. The school in Brooklyn is named Saint Ann's, with no "e." The Times makes the same error in a front-page article in the Sunday Styles section. The article, about a male model, reports that "He dropped out of St. Anne's School in Brooklyn Heights." Again, the Times has the school's name wrong; there's no "e."
'Popular Union of Kurdistan': An article in the Week in Review section of today's New York Times refers to a Kurdish group as the "Popular Union of Kurdistan." The group, often known by its initials as the PUK, is actually the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan; the Times has the name of the group wrong.
Prominent Democrats: An Op-Ed Page forum in today's New York Times attempts to answer the question "What Kind of Party for the Democrats?" The answer, according to the Times, seems to be one dominated by the same liberal warhorses that it was dominated by 20 years ago. Rather than carting out Mario Cuomo and Geraldine Ferraro, The Times might have gotten answers to the question from some more centrist new faces in the party, such as Joe Lieberman or Zell Miller. As it is, Al From looks like a token.
Stoner Boyfriend: Also from the Fashions of the Times magazine today, in an article about the BMW 2002: "I really liked the car because it looked like something your stoner boyfriend would drive you to the beach in." Well, looks like the New York Times isn't participating in that ads-for-content program run by the White House drug tsar.
