Corrections and clarifications

* * A report “Suryakirans display airmanship in Zhuhai [China]” (December 13, 2008) incorrectly gave the name of the Indian Ambassador to China as Nirupama Roy. It should have been Ms. Nirupama Rao.

* * A Muslim’s body is buried and not cremated, as mentioned in a report “Mumbai police write to Centre on Ajmal’s plea” (December 14, 2008, page 1).

* * The last paragraph of a report “American college issue referred to civil forum” (Madurai, December 12, 2008, page 3) was “Recalling the last words of Jesus Christ who said: ‘Peace I love with you, my piece I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you,’ the Judge said: ‘This Court expresses its hope that all those involved in this litigation do possess the peace left by Lord Jesus so that the college can function smoothly.’” The error crept in while typing the report. It should have been, according to New American Standard Bible (1995), “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful (John 14:27).”

* * The eight paragraph of a report “Buccaneer Sehwag sets up India’s chase” (“Sport”, December 15, 2008) was “India’s highest match-winning score in the fourth innings is 262 against Australia at the Brabourne Stadium in 1964.” India scored 256 for eight to win the Brabourne Test against Australia by two wickets in 1964. This is the highest score in India. For all matches, the highest score is 406 at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, in 1976.
