Gugu Mbatha-Raw Interview Error

Antietam Casualties and Nagasaki Bomb Codename
An article about iconic US photos reported that 22,000 soldiers were killed in one day at the 1862 Battle of Antietam. The correct figure is the total number killed, wounded, or reported missing. Additionally, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was codenamed Fat Man, not "Big Boy."
Summer Spritz Recipe Correction
A recipe for a summer spritz cocktail overstated the amount of elderflower liqueur. The intended measure was 35ml, not 235ml.
