U.S. attorney: An article in Sunday’s A section about U.S. Atty. Thomas P. O’Brien said Los Angeles civil rights attorney Stephen Yagman was convicted of bankruptcy fraud and tax evasion while O’Brien was U.S. attorney. Yagman was convicted before O’Brien’s tenure began and sentenced after O’Brien took charge of the office. The story also referred to the MIG-23 as the former Soviet Union’s “most menacing fighter plane” in 1984. A year earlier, an aircraft considered a superior tactical fighter, the MIG-29, entered service.
