Inexcusable error. It's far too late to correct the mistaken impression millions of people received yesterday. People should lose their jobs for a mistake like this.

This is a scandal. The news section of the Wall Street Journal has tarnished its great reputation. The only way to recover is to appoint a public editor to review this and explain how it happened to readers.
