>>This error refuses to go: The opening paragraph of “ >R.K. Pachauri removed as TERI head ” (July 24, 2015) erroneously referred to Mr. Pachauri as a “ Nobel laureate .” It was an editing error. We repeat the clarification issued in this column on June 23, 2009; December 23, 2008; June 12, 2008; May 13, 2008 and February 20, 2008: “Merci Olsson, Marketing and Communications Manager, Nobelprize.org, Sweden (the official website of the Nobel Foundation) clarifies that the recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and not R.K. Pachauri. Mr. Pachauri participated in the award ceremony as a chairman of the IPCC. (The 2007 Peace Nobel was also shared by Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr.)”
>>A sentence in the Editorial, “ >Trial and error ” (July 22, 2015), read: “New research findings from the Centre on the Death Penalty at the National Law University in Delhi show that trial courts handed down 1,800 death sentences over the last year.” It should have been 1,800 death sentences over the last 15 years.
