Correction

IN LAST week's issue John Keegan, in an article entitled 'The instrument of catas- trophe', wrote that Julie Burchill opposed war in the Gulf when she appeared on an Any Questions programme.

We understand from Julie Burchill that this is incorrect. She has never appeared on Any Questions and, as she told The Specta- tor, 'I support the Gulf War one hundred per cent', and 'I also correspond quite regularly with many young members of the armed forces'. The Spectator and Mr Keegan apologise for this unfortunate error.
