It is Slashdot.org, not Slashdot.com. (Go to Article) An article on Sunday about the Passover Seder at the White House misspelled, in some editions, the surname of one attendee at the dinner.

(Go to Article) INTERNATIONAL An article on Thursday about a detailed defense of Pope Benedict XVI’s handling of sexual abuse cases given by a Vatican official, Cardinal William J. Levada, in which he criticized The Times’s coverage as unfair, misstated the cardinal’s former role with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. He was a member and served on panels, but never served as the head of the group or in another leadership post. The article also misstated the top position in the organization. It is president; there is no chairman. (Go to Article) An article on Thursday that detailed the chronology of the case of the Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy, who was accused of molesting as many as 200 deaf boys at a school in Wisconsin over many years, misstated the date of his death in 1998. It was Aug. 21, not. Sept. 2.

(Go to Article) THE ARTS A music review on March 1 about the American Symphony Orchestra at Avery Fisher Hall, where it played Alexander Lokshin’s Symphony No. 4 among other works, referred incompletely to program information about Lokshin, a Russian composer who ran afoul of the Stalin regime. In addition to noting that former gulag prisoners had accused Lokshin of being an informer, the program said that it was unclear if the accusations were true, and that Lokshin had denied them. (Lokshin’s son raised the issue on Saturday, in an e-mail message.)
