Noam Chomsky: An article in the A section on Sept. 23 said that, in an appearance at the United Nations on Sept. 20, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez had held up a copy of Noam Chomsky's book "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance" and praised it, then mentioned his regret at never having met Chomsky before he died. The article pointed out that Chomsky was still alive. That account was based on the oral translation of Chavez's remarks provided as he was speaking. A more complete translation provided later in writing showed that after mentioning Chomsky's work, Chavez went on to offer praise for John Kenneth Galbraith, and it was Galbraith to whom he was referring when he expressed regret at his death.
