A correction via e-mail on today’s column:

Rich: I read with interest your comments on Detroit and its liberal wantonness. Having grown up there in the 50s, 60s and into the 70s I lived some of that decline. It was my passionate goal from about Sophomore in college on to get a degree and get the hell out of there which I was successful at. Many of my high school buddies cannot report the same. Anyway, you list the riots sometimes known as the 12th street riots, since that is where much of the looting and burning took place, as occurring in 1968. They did not. It was the summer of 1967. The Detroit Tigers won the pennant in 1968 with McClain and Lolich pitching them to victory and helping to heal a little bit of the open wound…

ME: I regret the error.
