HOW DOWD RETRACTS

Here it is:

In my last column, I cited a Time article reporting that the president had “quietly reinstated” a custom of sending a wreath to the Confederate Memorial. Time has since corrected the story, saying he didn’t revive the custom, but simply continued it. I would still ask: Why keep a tradition of honoring the Confederacy while you’re going to court to stop a tradition of helping black students at the University of Michigan?

Did I miss the simple retraction? And what on earth does the Michigan case have to do with anything?
