Just a technical note: In your Best of L.A. article “Broken News: L.A.’s Finest,” Tom Frykman writes that Hal Fishman works for KCAL-TV Channel 9. This is incorrect. Hal Fishman is a news anchor at KTLA-TV Channel 5 and has held that position since 1975. A simple technicality, but noteworthy nonetheless.

14.5 MINUTES REMAINING
DEAR EDITOR:
I don’t know “Falling James,” but he certainly made my day yesterday when I picked up the Weekly and saw that great write-up on RF7, in Scoring the Clubs [Calendar section, September 29–October 5]. It is amazing to me, the number of people who actually know what we’ve been doing all these years. Thank you very much. I feel like I’ve just gotten another 15 seconds of fame, as my phone has been ringing off the hook.

UNHIP-HYPE
DEAR EDITOR:
I’ve been reading your paper for longer than I know, and I am always disappointed when it comes to the hip-hop reviews, specifically by Oliver Wang. It is clear that he does not know what hip-hop, or even rap, is. It seems like his editor makes him do the reviews against his own will. How about you get someone doing the reviews who has listened to it for more than 3.5 years? If you want particular examples, e-mail me and I’ll go off for days.

CRIES AND MISNOMERS
DEAR EDITOR:
Re: Deborah Klugman’s review of the Stella Adler Theater’s production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest [New Theater Reviews, September 29–October 5]. As actors, we spend weeks if not months creating a stage role, and to have your character favorably mentioned in a review can be a tremendous career boost. However, in this case, Ms. Klugman made a positive comment clearly about one specific character, but gave that character the wrong name (substituting “Cheswick” for “Harding”). This reflects a sad lack of care and attention for someone whose supposed profession this is.
CORRECTION
In “Power Play” by Sara Catania [cover story, October 6–12], the name of Peter Mortiz burke of the Oakland-based Cambridge Research Associates was misspelled. We regret the error.
