A comment piece in today's Sunday Break, ``Susan Smith became a
complex Cinderella,'' on Page E7, was written before the sentencing
in the South Carolina murder case and gave incorrect information in
the third paragraph. Smith was sentenced to life in prison.
The top lines of two Sunday Break headlines are missing in
today's paper. The headlines, on Page E3, should say: ``U.Va. law
student helps alter world of guidebooks'' and ``Airlines have
chopped hours off flights from United States to Asia.''
Hurricane Hugo hit South Carolina in 1989. A graphic on
Saturday's front page gave the wrong year. Also, the graphic did not
include one of the deadliest natural disasters in United States
history, the 1900 hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas, claiming
more than 6,000 lives.
The oiler Savannah was decommissioned in ceremonies Friday at the
Norfolk Naval Station. A caption accompanying pictures on Page B3
Saturday gave a wrong location and did not state what type of vessel
the ship is.
The new area code for much of the western part of Virginia, now
served by 703, will be 540. An editorial in Saturday's newspaper
gave the wrong area code.
