Co-Author Distances Himself from Selig Harrison’s Vicarious Surrender Plan

You don’t see the New York Times print a correction like this one every day:

An Op-Ed article on Monday, about the sea boundary between North and South Korea, listed as an author John H. Cushman, a retired Army lieutenant general who commanded the United States-South Korean First Corps Group from 1976 to 1978. During the editing process, General Cushman asked that his name be removed as a co-author, but because of technical problems his request was not received before publication.

I can’t say I blame him. The correction will be an additional embarrassment for Selig Harrison, but it shouldn’t be a greater embarrassment than the op-ed itself.

  1. kushibo, you’re clear, I’m quite for by now Mr. Stanton would allow you into the VIP room if he ever had a club. Me however, I would be content to stand at the back of the line announcing myself as Mr. Harriston, a cousin of Selig Harrison, while giving him the Pollyanna treatment out back before Kim Jong Richardson the stooge arrived.

    Too soon?
