THE NEW YORK GUARDIAN
Confused by the friendliness between George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, the New York Times aims for a new typo record in a single article:
AMr. Kerry will make a fund-raising appearance tonight in New Jersey ...
... at Yale, a school the Clinton's also attended and where they met ...

Should be "She said that, like her husband, who looked often at the portraits of past president,..."

This should of course read:
"Mr Kerry, who was in Vietnam, will make a fund raising appearance tonight in New Jersey"
