THE CORRECTIONS

In typical Guardian deadpan style, this from last Wednesday's Correction and Clarifications column.

In our G2 cover story about Hunter S Thompson yesterday we mistakenly attributed to Richard Nixon the view that Thompson represented "that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character".

On the contrary, it was what Thompson said of Nixon.

Easily, the most unintentionally funny column in any newspaper. This from Saturday:

Rufus Wainwright, page 17, Friday Review, yesterday, has recorded a setting of Agnus Dei...

and the punch line

...rather than Angus Dei.

Boom! Boom!
