Clarifying Clinton's Cubs/Yankees Love
Monday, April 24, 2006 - 04:13 PM
If you happened to be browsing the New York Times website and happened to click on the 'Week in Review' page and then happened to look at the bottom right side of the page for a lonely link labeled 'editor's note,' you'd notice this clarification. The paper of record followed-up on an article in last week's paper about quotes attributed to Hillary Clinton. The correction said it neglected to say some quotes attributed to the New York Senator were from dubious sources, but the note went on to clarify some more arcane details in the article:
The article also noted that on the cover of the quotation book -- ''I've Always Been a Yankees Fan': Hillary Clinton in Her Own Words'' -- Mrs. Clinton is shown wearing a Cubs cap. But because of an editing error, this explanation was omitted: As early as 1994, Mrs. Clinton was on record explaining that growing up in the Midwest, she had both her hometown favorite, the Cubs, who are in the National League, and also an American League favorite, the Yankees.'
And does anyone really notice the difference between these two sentences?
"I knew that Bill respected military service, that he would have served had he been called"
and
"I knew that Bill respected military service, that he would have served had he been called"
