Due to a data entry research error, we mistakenly identified Oliver Kuttner as owner of one of the condos in Lewis & Clark Square in last week’s cover story [“Walls of shame,” September 30, 2008].

We like it neither better or worse for this fact, but we appreciate Kuttner letting us know and regret the mistake.
