I almost shudder to mention this, since the underlying debate is serious and
highly charged, but a CNN article about race and affirmative action included
a really inopportune misprint, in grand Amos-n-Andy style:

"At issue is whether race be used as a factor in admissions to state-funded
colleges, to increase diversity in the student body."

From http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/12/02/scotus.affirmative.action/index.html

It's very likely that they'll catch and fix this error shortly, but as of
8:51am EST, the goof was there.
