Corrections

In Dec. 31 "Today's Papers," Eric Umansky wrote that George Ryan was the former governor of Michigan. In fact, he's the former governor of Illinois.

In his Dec. 26 review of Monster and Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer, David Edelstein mistated Aileen Wuornos' place of birth. It was Michigan, not Minnesota.

In a Dec. 22 "Obit," Jim Lewis originally implied that Gary Stewart wrote "She's Acting Single, I'm Drinking Doubles." In fact, it was written by Wayne Carson; Stewart had recorded a popular version of it.
