For the record - Dec. 23, 2009

Athletes’ transgressions: A column by Bill Plaschke in the Dec. 9 Sports section about media coverage of the many transgressions of sports figures this year said we were treated to reports about allegations made in court that basketball star Dwyane Wade had given his wife a sexually transmitted disease. Wade’s estranged wife had made that claim in a counter-petition for dissolution of marriage. She later withdrew that counter-petition.

Clippers game: The score line above the article on the Clippers’ game against the Spurs in Tuesday’s Sports section listed the result as Clippers 103, San Antonio 87. The correct score was San Antonio 103, Clippers 87.

Connie Hines obituary: The obituary of actress Connie Hines in Tuesday’s Section A said she was born June 5, 1930, and was 79 when she died. Hines was born March 24, 1931, and was 78 at the time of her death.
