In a Jan. 21 "Chatterbox" column, Timothy Noah stated incorrectly, "It was the Herald, not the Globe, which introduced Boston readers" to an embarrassing story concerning John Kerry and Skull & Bones. In fact, the Globe had it before the Herald.

In a Jan. 19 "Chatterbox" column, Timothy Noah erroneously referred to "the Rev. James Dobson." Dobson is actually a lay Ph.D. (in child development), not an ordained minister.

In the Jan. 15 "Today's Papers" column, Bill O'Brien incorrectly stated that reports of a bombing in Baghdad on Sunday morning came too late for the papers' print editions. In fact, the Los Angeles Times did include coverage in its Sunday editions.
