An item in the Periscope section of the Jan. 21 issue mischaracterized New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s use of the phrase “shuck and jive” as a direct reference to the political style of Sen. Barack Obama. In fact, Cuomo, a Hillary Clinton supporter, was speaking in broad terms about how candidates interact with voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, according to a review of the transcript by The New York Times.
In “The Pilot vs. The preacher” (Jan. 14), we said that former John McCain political consultant Mike Murphy had once been a Navy pilot. In fact, he has never been a Navy pilot, nor has he ever served in the armed forces. NEWSWEEK regrets the errors. Link
