Corrections: May 15 – New York Times

May 16

INTERNATIONAL

An article on Friday about the possibility that the European Union might ease the insurance-coverage provision contained in its planned embargo of Iranian oil misstated Iran’s daily oil production. It is approximately 3.6 million barrels a day, according to the Energy Information Administration of the United States, not 2.2 million barrels, which is the amount of Iran’s estimated daily exports. (As stated in the article, most of Iran’s exports go to Asia.)

NEW YORK

Because of an editing error, a picture caption on Wednesday with an article about a record fine for illegal advertising signs that were removed from the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District misidentified the location of two “grandfathered” ads that were shown. The Aldo and Burberry ads pictured were on Houston Street, between Crosby and Lafayette Streets, not at 598 Broadway, where the illegal signs had been taken down. (The block with the “grandfathered” ads was added to the historic district; the block on which 598 Broadway stands had always been part of that district.)

An article on Thursday about the intimidation some ultra-Orthodox Jews encounter in their community when they come forward with allegations of child sexual abuse misspelled the surname of a rabbi who is executive vice president of Agudath Israel of America, a powerful ultra-Orthodox organization. He is Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, not Zweibel. (The error was repeated in an article on Friday about the Brooklyn district attorney, who must decide how to handle such cases.)

The City Room column on Thursday, about Barbra Streisand’s plan to perform in Brooklyn for the first time since she graduated from Erasmus Hall High School, misspelled her father’s given name and also referred incorrectly to another student of the high school. Mr. Streisand was Emanuel, not Emmanuel. And the other student, the chess champion Bobby Fischer, dropped out of Erasmus Hall; he did not graduate.

An article on April 28 about a city crackdown on illegal hotels misstated the name of one hotel and the amenities it offered. When the city shut down a hotel on West 173rd Street in Washington Heights in 2011, it was known as Eden House — not Pied-A-Terre, which was the name of a hotel previously operated at the property by a tenant. And while Pied-A-Terre had offered access to barbecue equipment, the Eden House was not doing so when it was shut down, according to the property owner.

THE ARTS

A theater review on Saturday about “Sophie Gets the Horns,” at the Incubator Arts Project at St. Mark’s Church on East 10th Street in Manhattan, referred incorrectly to the character played by Adriano Shaplin. The character is a male student, not a female student.

OBITUARIES

An obituary on May 3 about Earl Rose, who was the Dallas County medical examiner when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, misstated where Dr. Rose completed a residency in forensic pathology. It was the Medical College of Virginia (now part of Virginia Commonwealth University), not the University of Virginia.

An obituary on May 8 about Carl J. Bernadotte, who lost his title as a Swedish prince when he married a commoner, referred incorrectly to the landlord from whom he and his wife rented an apartment in Manhattan. The landlord, who was not named in the obituary, was a woman (Rose Cumming, a well-known interior designer), not a man.

An obituary on Saturday about the pilot and flying instructor Evelyn B. Johnson misstated the year of her birth. She was born on Nov. 4, 1909, not 1908. (As correctly noted in the obituary and the headline, she was 102 when she died.)
