An Associated Press file photo published with a June 1 article about courses on religious tolerance at the Air Force Academy showed a chaplain, Capt. Melinda Morton, teaching one of the classes. Morton no longer teaches the class, and last month she said she was removed from her administrative duties after complaining of religious intolerance at the academy.
A June 1 article on reaction to the confirmation that former FBI official W. Mark Felt was the Watergate source known as "Deep Throat" incorrectly said that Patrick J. Buchanan called Felt a "traitor" in an interview on MSNBC's "Hardball." Buchanan said that Felt had no personal loyalty to President Richard M. Nixon, "so I don't consider him a traitor in that sense."
