Wish I could speak Spanish. Heard a translator say one of the Grandmas say she thought the way to honor the mother's memory was to return the child to Cuba. Must have been a bad translation. Or a very bad grandma.

Correction, the facts in our Jan. 20 Washington Post story were all 180 degrees wrong. Everything you read, just invert it. Sorry for the inconvenient [for George Bush] error. *Media Research Center CyberAlert* Monday January 24, 2000 (Vol. Five; No. 13) > 6) Oops. Gore not quite as strong as Bush and the public doesn't really think Gore will "bring change to Washington." Never mind what we told you last month. Here's a Washington Post "Corrections" box item I bet many missed. It ran as one long paragraph on page two of the January 20 newspaper: A computer programming error by TNS Intersearch, the research firm that conducts telephone interviewing for Washington Post-ABC News polls, produced faulty survey results that were reported in a Dec. 17 article. Specifically, the December data incorrectly suggested that roughly the same proportion of Americans viewed George W. Bush and Vice President Gore as strong leaders. In fact, a substantially larger proportion of the public interviewed for the December poll viewed Bush as a strong leader. The data also incorrectly suggested that the proportion of adults who viewed Gore as a candidate who would bring "needed change to Washington" had risen since a Post-ABC survey in October; in fact, views of the vice president on this measure had not changed substantially and Bush still has an advantage over Gore on this trait. Corrected results are available at www.washingtonpost.com. Results from the latest Post-ABC News survey, reported Tuesday, were unaffected by the programming error."
