For the record - Oct. 19, 2010

Capitol Journal: In the Capitol Journal column in the Oct. 18 Section A, a sentence that referred to Proposition 25 should have said Proposition 26; it also misspelled “levies” as “levees.” The sentence should have read, “Under Prop. 26, any tax hike would require a two-thirds vote, regardless of a simultaneous reduction in other levies.”

Torah scroll: An article in the Oct. 10 Section A about a Northridge synagogue’s plans to restore a more-than-300-year-old Torah scroll erred in referring to the synagogue, Temple Ahavat Shalom, as Temple Ahavat on second and later references. The correct short form is Ahavat Shalom.

Payday loans: An article in the Sept. 15 Business section about the financing that payday lenders receive from major banks said people who take out payday loans generally don’t have bank accounts. In fact, payday lenders require borrowers to have a bank or credit union checking account.

Bugs Bunny DVDs: An article in the Oct. 12 Calendar section about two new DVDs featuring Bugs Bunny cartoons gave the wrong first name for one of the directors of those works. He was Bob McKimson, not Bill.

“Palo Alto”: A review in the Oct. 17 Arts & Books section of James Franco’s book of stories “Palo Alto” referred to Franco appearing on the cover of the April issue of Esquire magazine. Tina Fey appeared on that cover; Franco appears on the cover of the September issue.

Janet MacLachlan: The obituary of actress Janet MacLachlan in the Oct. 17 California section said she played housekeeper Polly Swanson on “The Archie Bunker Show.” The correct name of the TV series was “ Archie Bunker’s Place.”
