FROM THE DEPT OF SHAMEFACED CORRECTIONS
This one courtesy of my steadfast employer, The Economist, in reference to a line about "Doctor Zhivago" in a review of "Zhivago's Children: The Last Russian Intelligentsia," by Vladislav Zubok:
In “Yearning to be free” (July 4th) we inadvertently implied that Lara was married to Yuri Zhivago. Our shamefaced apologies to Boris Pasternak; his famous lovers of course never married.
What a book it might have been--shorter, happier and with considerably less pining (ie, not Russian).
