Michael Moore brings the world a 102-minute commercial about himself, "Captain Mike Across America." Could that have been his dream all along?

    Do you have a corrections policy, or not?

    Friday afternoon, Ms. Zacharek referred to Joan Baez "warbling her way through the Finnish--yes, Finnish--national anthem." I sent you, and you posted, a fairly long and I trust reasonably cogent letter explaining that what Ms. Baez was in fact "warbling" was the rather well-known hymn A Song of Peace, whose melody is taken from Finlandia, which is not "the Finnish national anthem." On Monday, poor Joan is still, in Ms. Zacharek's copy at least, confused about what country she's in.

    Put simply, on Friday that was an error. Today, it's just a lie.
