Lose the word, lose the meaning
A Jan. 14 Style article on Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid’s 2008 remarks about Barack Obama, and how comments about race are received differently depending on the race of the speaker, incorrectly described Bill Clinton as trying to persuade Edward M. Kennedy to support Obama for president. Clinton was actually trying to persuade Kennedy not to back Obama when, according to the book “Game Change,” he said, “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.” The word “not” was inadvertently omitted from the article’s description of Clinton urging Kennedy not to support Obama.
