Correction

A production error made nonsense of a sentence in last week's article by Nicholas Coleridge. The passage should have read: The majority of highly paid City boys are not nouveau riche at all; they are tradition- at upper-middle-class pinstripes, who are banking the cheques as fast as they can while the going is good, and would never be so vulgar as to pose for a colour supplement. That is why one reads a good deal about commodity brokers (reliably ostentatious) but nothing about the British contingent in Japanese or American banks like Manufacturers Hanover, Bankers Trust, Morgan Guaranty and Merrill Lynch.
