For the record - Oct. 21, 2014
Dark money: An article on Oct. 19 in Section A on the rise of “dark money” campaign contributors said a 2010 Supreme Court decision cleared the way for a certain class of nonprofits, such as AARP and volunteer fire departments, to plunge into big-money politicking. The article should have made clear that not all nonprofits, including AARP, did so.
Ebola and travel industry: An article in the Oct. 18 Business section about Ebola’s effects on the travel industry said Princess Cruises screens passengers who have been to Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea within 21 days of departure. The article should have added that the cruise line, like Carnival, denies boarding if the screening determines that a passenger has been to those countries within the 21-day period.
Protective apparel: An article in the Oct. 17 Business section about demand for suits to protect against the Ebola virus said Kimberly-Clark Corp. does not sell hazardous-materials suits. The company does sell such suits.
“Finding Your Roots”: An article in the Oct. 19 Calendar section about the PBS genealogy show “Finding Your Roots” misspelled the first name of writer-actress Tina Fey as Tiny.
