    Here’s a related one from the Washington Post: ORRECTION TO THIS ARTICLE
    Earlier versions of this article incorrectly described the setting of S.E. Hinton’s book “The Outsiders.” It was set in Tulsa, not in Tucson. The article also incorrectly reported the character Peter Warren Hatcher in Judy Blume’s “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing” preferred to be called “Fudge.” His younger brother, Farley, used the nickname. This version has been corrected.
