In case you thought ...
... your friendly neighborhood J4400 coven sat around on weekends and made up fiendish sentences and errors that could never possibly occur in real life, just to make the quizzes difficult:
President Kennedy was shot and killed in 1963. An article on page D1 of Friday's Herald about author Harry Livingstone incorrectly identified the year of the president's assassination.
Why make stuff up when all you have to do is read the papers? (Tnx and a hatlo to Regret the Error, another invaluable source.)

My favorite occurred in my own paper, the Daytona Beach News-Journal (Daytona proper has a large black population and the several city officials are black) in which a story about the anniversary of the Tuskeegee Airmen called them the Tuskeegee Experiment.
Ouch. That's worthy of a spot in the books.
