For the record - April 11, 2015

David Laventhol: In the obituary of former Times Publisher David Laventhol in the April 9 California section, this quote attributed to John J. Goldman was actually from Steve Isenberg: “Dave’s style did not advertise the man. He was a very shy and gentle and wry person. But to know him well was to know how he had a spine of steel. He was a terrific competitor.”
