CORRECTION

In their book, "Lead Like Jesus", Blanchard and Hodges write, "If you are to follow the example of Jesus as a leader, never demean people or try to make them feel inferior because of a failure on their part. As Jesus did, you should let the love you have for those with whom you work come through and let your desire to lead like Jesus always direct your behavior."

—"Lead Like Jesus", p. 132. Illustration by Jim L. Wilson

Proverbs 27:6 (KJV) "Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."

 


CORRECTION
    
 In 1985, a reader wrote the New York Times correcting a reporter’s use of the phrase “hansom cabs” to describe the horse-drawn carriages in Central Park. The reader pointed out that hansom cabs only have two wheels, whereas carriages have four. The Times published the letter, but continued to use the term “hansom cabs” incorrectly.
    
Finally, in December 2011, the paper printed a correction for the long running mistake. The article was not the first time the paper has issued a correction for an error long after the mistake was made. Shortly after Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969, the Times retracted an editorial from 1920 claiming space travel was impossible.
