Corrections: February 22, 2018

I made two mistakes in the two skiing posts I wrote yesterday.

In my post about Lindsey Vonn's bronze medal win,  I wrote that she and Mikaela Shrrfin would be competing next in the women's super giant slalom.  They were in fact scheduled to compete in the women's in the women's super combined slalom/downhill.

I also wrote that Jessica Diggins and Kikkan Randall won gold in cross-country skiing for the first time for the United States since Bill Koch in 1976.  In fact, it was the first time any American cross-country skiers ever won gold, and Bill Koch, the previous - and only other - American cross-country Olympic medalist, won silver.  

Te original errors, which I regret, have since been corrected.

Corrections: March 25, 2010

I need to make a correction and a clarification on my blog today.

The correction: Yesterday, I said that a congressman had had a gas line to his barbecue vandlaized due to the health care bill. In fact, it was his brother's barbecue that was vandalized.

The clarification: On several occasions, I wrote that the Senate would vote once again on health care once the House passed this bill, but I may not have sufficiently emphasized that the bill would then be signed by President Obama and become law and then by fixed in reconciliation by the Senate. I apologize if I confused anyone, and, as always, I regret my errors.

I need to issue two corrections regarding my post on the Coakley-Brown U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts titled, "Martha My God!":

I wrote that Mitt Romney's election to the governorship of Massachusetts was the fifth straight Republican victory for that office; it was in fact the fourth.

The second correction is actually more of a clarification. I wrote that no Republican has been elected to the U.S .Senate from Massachusetts since Edward Brooke was elected in 1972. He was elected to a second term, so "re-elected" was a better choice of a word. I have made these corrections in the original post.

I regret these errors.
