The correction of the week is actually a Dec. 16 Editor's Note in the New York Times, which read in part:
"The Our Towns column on Dec. 5 . . . commented that Greenwich [Conn.] 'is not a community of Airstream trailers where people sit outside on cinder blocks whiling away the hours by taking aim with their BB guns at upturned Buicks.' The reference to Airstream, though jocular, was unwarranted. The brand is a luxury recreational trailer often referred to as a land yacht. It should not have been associated with shabby surroundings."
In other words, it's fine for Times reporters to sit on cinder blocks, metaphorically speaking, and take pot shots at the people who live in trailer parks. God forbid, however, that they should get their status cues wrong and mistakenly mock the upscale recreational vehicles that Times readers (or editors) vacation in.
