Slate’s mistakes.

In a March 24 Future Tense, Craig Hardgrove misstated that Lewis and Clark were to, among other things, look for railway passages. Their trip predated railroads, so that was not part of the mission.

In a March 23 Slatest, Joshua Keating misidentified former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych as Vladimir Yanukovych.

In a March 20 Brow Beat, Willa Paskin misspelled Michael Zegen’s last name and Michel Faber’s first name.

In a March 15 XX Factor, Christina Cauterucci misstated that the Marines in Teresa Fazio’s Rolling Stone story were trained by officers. That training would have been done by enlisted instructors.
