Making a 13-Year Correction to an Obituary

Making a 13-Year Correction to an Obituary

From NPR http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4773994.....in story about this in the NYT:
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/25/pageoneplus/corrections.html

An obituary on Jan. 6, 1993, about William G. McLoughlin, an emeritus professor of history and religion at Brown University, misstated the date and cause of his death. Professor McLoughlin died on Dec. 28, 1992, not on Jan. 4, 1993; the cause was colon cancer, not liver cancer. The article also misstated the location of his World War II military service. It was at Fort Sill, Okla., not in Europe. The Times learned of the errors through a recent e-mail message from a family member.
