AP Issues Correction on the Lani Guinier Story:
[1]Here it is:
In a Dec. 10 brief and story about Bernard Kerik's withdrawal as
homeland security secretary-designate, The Associated Press
reported erroneously that Lani Guinier, who was President Clinton's
choice to head the Justice Department's civil rights division in
1993, had not paid taxes for a domestic worker. A spokesman for her
at Harvard Law School said there was no such problem, and the White
House never indicated that there was. Clinton said he withdrew her
nomination because of her legal writings on racial issues. The same
incorrect reference to Guinier and unpaid taxes on a domestic
worker was in a 1995 AP item about Clinton choices who had problems
in the confirmation process.
