Frustrating error
To the editor:
When the Journal-World consistently is incorrect on simple facts, the reader begins to doubt everything published in your paper. Your article in Tuesday’s edition identifies Richard Dawkins, who spoke at the Lied Center on Monday night, as a theoretical physicist. He is an ethologist and evolutionary theorist. Perhaps you confuse him with Stephen Hawking, who is a theoretical physicist and also a Brit? You can do better than that!
Unable to attend the Dawkins lecture due to other commitments, I counted on the local newspaper to give me a complete and accurate synopsis of an interesting public lecture.
Clearly, that confidence was misplaced.
