In an Aug. 31 "Slatest" entry, Meredith Simons misspelled the name of Stanford University.

In the Aug. 31 "War Stories," Fred Kaplan incorrectly stated that the Aug. 31 troop-withdrawal deadline was part of the United States' status of forces agreement with Iraq. In addition, a word was left out of a quotation from Obama's speech on Iraq.

In the Aug. 30 "Jurisprudence," Dahlia Lithwick quoted a speech by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, reporting she'd said, "One day I was particularly wary." Ginsberg had said, "One day I was particularly weary."
