These micro errors may seem trivial. In my first column two months ago, I tended to dismiss them as "the occasional expected slip-up in reporting and editing standards." Readers like Michael K. Titelbaum '99 took exception to this casual treatment. A fresh string of insidious errors seem to validate their concern that this sort of slip-up is less occasional than expected, and certainly more frequent than can be desired. Perhaps it is time to go beyond the perfunctory erratum and re-evaluate some of The Crimson's editorial policies to see whether institutional changes can be made...

It is unreasonable to dismiss all alternative medicines as working through the placebo effect, because of the systematic and controlled scientific studies which have begun to demonstrate the validity of such treatments as acupuncture or herbal medicine. The pervasiveness of the placebo effect, which we must keep in mind when examining both conventional and alternative medicine, reminds us that controlled, double-blind studies are essential for assessing the efficacy of any type of therapy...
