A story Thursday on Page B1 about a Cushing couple winning a Chevrolet Impala contained errors. The race Heidi and Paul Alley attended was the Daytona 500 that was run on Sunday, Feb. 17, and the couple chose between poster boards that had a Chevy emblem or a Daytona 500 emblem.
A story about the sentencing of an Irishman for armed bank robbery that ran on Page 1 in Wednesday’s paper and the correction that ran in Thursday’s paper contained the same typographical error. The federal prosecutor recommended Niall Clarke, 27, be sentenced to 41 months in prison.
In a Feb. 19 Lifestyle story about “Body Worlds,” The Associated Press erroneously implied that the exhibit had included bodies from China. “Body Worlds” exhibits have never used bodies from China, according to a statement from the Institute of Plastination in Heidelberg, Germany, where Dr. Gunther von Hagens invented a process to plasticize cadavers for public displays at museums. In an interview with ABC’s “20/20,” von Hagens said he had “stopped using bodies from China” and that “he had cremated some bodies that showed head injuries.” Von Hagens was referring to “anatomical specimens” he plasticized for Chinese university medical schools in 2003-04, the statement said.
