CORRECTION |
|
Last week, replying to a letter
from an eight-year-old girl who wanted to know if there
really is a Santa Claus, we wrote, “No, Veronica, there
is no Santa Claus, just a jovial mascot used mostly to
promote commercial products.” The girl's name is
Virginia. We apologize for the error. |
