Corrections
The article in our last issue entitled “Legal Assault Planned on Ibero-American Armed Forces,” p. 75, failed to note that it was a reprint of an EIR article first published in 1993. The events referred to in the article as having taken place in “March” therefore refer to March 1993. We reprinted the article in order to show that EIR had predicted the offensive against the armed forces which is now in full swing.
In the same issue, on pages 64 and 69, Japanese Finance Minister Masayoshi Takemura is misidentified. He is no longer with the Liberal Democratic Party, but is now the head of the new Sakigake Party.
