An article on Sunday about the reaction of women to Senator John McCain’s choice of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate misidentified the 50th state to enter the union in some editions. It was Hawaii — not Alaska, which was the 49th. The article also misspelled, in some editions, the name of a woman who said the choice of Ms. Palin made her less likely to support Mr. McCain. She is Sue Angers, not Angiers. (Go to Article)

A Sports of The Times column last Tuesday, about great moments at Yankee Stadium involving the Red Sox and the Yankees, referred incorrectly to the 1949 season. The Boston pitcher who gave up an eighth-inning home run to Tommy Henrich on the way to a pennant-clinching victory by the Yankees on the final day of the 1949 season was Mel Parnell — not Ellis Kinder, who had been lifted for a pinch-hitter in the top of the inning. And Joe McCarthy, who was Boston’s manager that season, won seven — not eight — World Series titles when he was the Yankees’ manager. (Go to Article)
