Here and There

Stop everything. The New Yorker magazine made a mistake.

It’s a typo, to be sure, but on page 34 of the August 28, 2006 issue (Malcolm Gladwell’s story of risk and pension funds), middle column, toward the bottom, it reads:

“…the costs of four hundred and eighty-eighty thousand dependents…”

And apparently they’ve either not received, or aren’t heeding, the polite email I sent today, because they haven’t changed it on their website yet.

Oh well, I guess there are human beings running the show over there after all.
