For the record

A feature article about an extremist found guilty of attempted murder in Worcestershire should have said that Counter Terrorism Policing West Midlands had been contacted for comment, not West Midlands police (“Obsessed with Nazis, intent on violence … the racist terrorist who plotted to kill as he hid in plain sight”, 27 October p20).

We misnamed the Kate Bush track Snowflake, from her 2011 album 50 Words for Snow, as Snowdrop (“Babooshkas rejoice! …”, 27 October, p47).

An article about the 1974 boxing match between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali held in what was then Zaire said the country’s president, Mobutu Sese Seko, agreed to pay the boxers $10m each; that was the total figure, with each paid $5m (“Rumble in the Jungle 50 years on: how Ali danced rings around apartheid”, 27 October, Sport, p17).
