"ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT"

NY TIMES: CORRECTIONS

FRONT PAGE
An article on Nov 13 about twin brothers who had been sleeping in a tree in Central Park misidentified the type of tree. It is a European beech, not an American elm.

SPORTS
Because of an editing error, an article on Sunday about Ohio State's victory over Michigan in college football misidentifed Michigan's mascot in some copies. They are the Wolverines -- not the Spartans, the mascot for Michigan State.

BUSINESS
The Advertising column on Monday, a tongue-in-cheek questionnaire on marketing media and popular culture, misstated the name of a song in the musical "Bye Bye Birdie." It is "The Telephone Hour" not "The Telephone Song."

"THE TELEPHONE HOUR," FROM THE MUSICAL "BYE BYE BIRDIE"
-Hi, Nancy!
-Hi, Helen!
What's the story, morning glory?
What's tale, nightingale?
-Tell me quick about Hugo and Kim!
-Hi, Margie!
-Hi, Alice!
What's the story, morning glory?
-What's the word, humming bird?
-Have you heard about Hugo and Kim?


"THE TELEPHONE SONG," FROM THE MUSICAL "MISS SAIGON"
[Chris]
John, is that you, buddy? Listen to me
Do I sound diff'rent? How else could I be?
Last night I spent a whole lifetime in paradise.
Hey, tell the CO I'm taking all of my leave
We're gonna play house, oh John, it's like Christmas eve
We have sworn we won't see the sun for forty-eight hours

[John is at the Embassy, in the midst of chaos: diplomatic cables and files being packed or burned, typewriters crated, etc.]

[John]
What are you saying? Are you out of your mind?
All leaves are canceled, you could be left behind
Saigon is falling apart, and you'd better be here
Here is the news, since you've been on the moon
