Corrections and clarifications

In connection with a report “American First Ladies and India factor” (October 1, 2008), on the release of a book, Utham Kumar Jamadhagni, a lecturer at the University of Madras, and the author of the book, clarifies: It is wrong to say that Eleanor Roosevelt accompanied Franklin Roosevelt to India (as said in the second paragraph). She came to India alone. Franklin Roosevelt never visited India. She was the first First Lady to have visited India, and hence finds mention in the book.

The first paragraph of a report “Funds for healthcare not utilised properly: Ramadoss” (October 1, 2008) was “PMK leader S. Ramadoss on Tuesday alleged that the functioning of the [Tamil Nadu] State Health Department was far from unsatisfactory, claiming that the Rs 1,600 crore allotted by Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss over the years had not been properly utilised.” It should have been “far from satisfactory”.
