The Wash Post corrected a factual error in the op-ed it ran over the weekend by the liberal dean of American history, Arthur Schlesinger. An honest mistake, but one that still puts a smile on my face. As far as I can tell, the blunder was first identified in the blogosphere–we linked to it from here. Also, Michael Knox Beran has a response to Schlesinger on the homepage.

For what it’s worth, I decided that Schlesinger was not trustworthy after reading Coolidge and the Historians, by the late Tom Silver, which includes a devastating analysis of how Schlesinger tried to smear the reputation of a conservative president.
