Vol. 75/No. 17      May 2, 2011

In the article “L.A.: ‘Every gain won by labor and discipline of ordinary people,’” which appeared in the April 18 issue, the quote by trade unionist Laura Brown was not taken from a speech to the crowd, but from an interview with the Militant.

The article “Antigovernment protests challenge Syrian regime” from the same issue reported that Hafez al-Assad, the father of the current Syrian ruler, had taken power in 1963. While al-Assad was a member of the ruling Baath party and defense minister since 1966, he did not become president until 1970, when he staged a successful coup.
