Yesterday, the Times' had to correct a story it had published about a book party for former President Clinton, in which four names were misspelled and a fifth person was misidentified. Turns out, that correction was only "Part 1." This morning is Part Deux:

An article on Tuesday about a party at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the publication of Bill Clinton's book, "My Life," misidentified the executive producer who oversaw an hourlong CBS interview with Mr. Clinton on "60 Minutes" on Sunday. He was Jeffrey Fager.

(Don Hewitt, creator and longtime executive producer of the program, is now an emeritus executive producer for CBS News.) In some copies the article also misspelled the surname of the guest who was special counsel to President John F. Kennedy. He is Theodore C. Sorensen, not Sorenson.

Not to pick on the reporter, who obviously had a bad day, but double-checking names is one of the first things they teach you in J-101. It's one of the first things they teach you when you get your first job writing obituaries. And this was one of the highest-profile social events in years in The Times' own town.
