Transposed figures made our life expectancy statistics partly wrong. The correct figure for women is 82.9, not 89.2 (The Audit, Comment & Analysis print version, 30 September, page 45).
Jacques Brel fans were confused when we appeared to attribute one of his famous songs, Ne Me Quitte Pas, to Michel Legrand. To clarify, Marianne Faithfull recorded as Ne Me Quitte Pas a different song by Legrand from the 1964 film Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, a song also known in English as I Will Wait for You (“This is the most honest record I’ve made”, New Review, 23 September, page 18).
