Recent Corrections in Our Coverage

We have recently issued several corrections across different sections. For instance, in our article about aid to Nepal and Tibet, we incorrectly stated that Nepal's Chitwan district borders Tibet. In fact, it borders India. This correction ensures geographic accuracy for our readers.

Another correction involved a review of Robert Harris's novel Agrippa. We mistakenly referred to Octavius as Caesar's nephew, but he was actually his great-nephew. Additionally, we misspelled a Latin inscription at the Pantheon; the correct text is M AGRIPPA L F COS TERTIUM FECIT.

Photo Caption Error in Film Article

In a feature on Éric Rohmer's novel, we used an image from My Night at Maud's but misidentified the person shown. The caption incorrectly named Jean-Louis Trintignant, when it was actually Antoine Vitez with Françoise Fabian. This error appeared only in the print edition.

Other Amended Articles

Beyond these specific corrections, we have updated several other articles to improve accuracy. These include stories about London flats lacking running water, reforestation efforts in Central America, and celebrity tributes to Dolly Parton. Each amendment reflects our ongoing review process.
