More fun with the un-archived NYT corrections:

A chart last Sunday showing comparative statistics for Israel and the West Bank and Gaza Strip misstated birth rates and child mortality rates. In Israel, there are 19.12 births annually per 1,000 people, not 19.12 per 100. In the West Bank and Gaza Strip, there are 35.48 births per 1,000 people, not per 100. In Israel, 6 children in 1,000 die before they are 5 — not 6 children in 100. In the West Bank and Gaza Strip, 25 children in 1,000 die under 5 — not 25 in 100.

The Age of Dissonance column on Feb. 24, about birthdays, misstated the context of Samuel Johnson's phrase "the triumph of hope over experience." It referred to second marriages, not to life in general.
