Russert falsely attributed "epitomized greatness" quote to Rev. Wright
Fox News' Sean Hannity similarly misattributed the quote on numerous occasions in January. Other media outlets -- in some cases citing Russert -- have misattributed the quote to Wright. Russert's falsehood about the quote was yet another in a series of falsehoods contained in questions he has asked during the Democratic presidential debates. Here is what McKinney-Jones wrote of Farrakhan in the article, which appeared in the November/December 2007 of Trumpet Newsmagazine: Because of the Minister's influence in the African American community, Trumpet Newsmagazine honors him this winter at its Sounds of the Shore gala with an Empowerment Award. It seemed a fitting tribute for a storied life well lived. And as our brief interview drew to a close and he thanked me for taking the time to talk to him, I could not help but think, the Minister, the man with whom I had been so casually speaking, truly epitomized greatness.
Corrections and clarifications
A story on B1 Tuesday should have said the World Learner School is for students in first through eighth grades. The article also should have said that the school could have used fundraising to build a gymnasium. A story in Wednesday's North and East Extra sections should have said the North Suburban Rugby Club won six consecutive state tournament titles starting in 2000, when the club was formed. The Web address for tickets to the Twin Cities Food & Wine Experience is incorrectly noted on Page T6 in today's preprinted Taste section. The correct address is www.foodwineshow.com. .
Not-so-fine dining cited at many top restaurants
The data were used for stories published today, and were put online with a searchable interface so readers are able to examine restaurant records for themselves. The Union-Tribune database, which can be found at uniontrib.com/more/inspections, will be updated periodically. For the main print story, reporters focused on 103 restaurants that made the 2008 Zagat lists for San Diego's most popular and top food-rated eateries, and places where dinner for one is estimated to cost $55 or more. The Zagat San Diego ratings are based on surveys filled out by 2,500 customers and cover 472 eateries in the county. Zagat ratings are considered among the most democratic because they are composed of customers' experiences and not those of professional critics. Zagat restarted its San Diego edition in 2008, after a seven-year break.
BEA’s stance on Oracle deal pummeled
The reaction to BEA's rejection of a $17 a share takeover offer from Oracle is brutal. Of course, billionaire Carl Icahn has issues. But analysts aren't too thrilled either. Either BEA knows something the rest of us don't or is delusional. A sampling of comments: Credit Suisse analyst Jason Maynard, in a research note titled 'Hope isn't a strategy,' wrote: BEA's shares could easily trade back to the $12-$14 level absent activist pressure and Oracle's bid. While BEA has reduced expenses, it still hasn't offered a sustainable strategy and demonstrated consistent execution to warrant a standalone share price above $17 let alone $21. We think the $17 per share proposal is more than reasonable, and certainly worth the time and effort of BEA's management team to begin earnest negotiations.
