THE POWER OF RELIGION HEALS, HURTS MODERN-DAY QUESTIONS OF FAITH SPARK DISCORD FROM KASHMIR TO KANSAS Series: THE MILLENNIUM PROJECT
Indeed, it seems to be in the nature of religion to put people at odds. Hindus fight Muslims in Kashmir. Catholics oppose Protestants in Northern Ireland (a conflict that, happily, appears on the way to settlement). Orthodox Christians hate Muslims in Yugoslavia. Secular fundamentalists restrict Muslims in Turkey. And Muslim extremists like Osama bin Laden wage a private holy war against Americans everywhere. The litany could be extended almost indefinitely.

How full should the disclosure be when mistakes happen?
In 2003, 401 of our 803 errors identified through our error forms were newsgathering mistakes. That is 49.94 percent. And that is almost exactly the average [49.75 percent] over the seven full years of error form data ... \"Another way to look at this is that, typically, newsgathering errors outnumber editing errors by 3-1. At least.\"

Are we one-sided on `The Passion'?
CORRECTION: Additional material published March 12, 2004. CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS. In his Commentary page column on Thursday, Don Wycliff said incorrectly that two commentaries on alleged anti-Semitism in the movie \"The Passion of the Christ\" appeared on Page 1 of the Perspective section on Feb. 15. In fact, those commentaries were on Page 3 of Perspective. Additionally, he failed to note that John Kass wrote favorably about the film on Feb. 25.

Covering `moral problems
Al's use of the term \"moral problem\" implies a much more serious judgment than the word \"taste\" suggests. He sees those of us who make decisions in the Tribune newsroom as having enlisted in a culture war on the side of the forces of darkness and immorality. By running that picture of those two men kissing, we have given the country, the society, a push along a road that ends in moral rack and ruin.

Curbing the influx of immigrants ; Should the door be as wide open as it is?
One of the most provocative questions [Dave Gorak] ever put to me was why, since immigration's impact on native-born blacks is so demonstrably negative in economic terms, do outfits like the Congressional Black Caucus support it almost reflexively. I called the CBC office the other day and was told by Doug Thornell, the caucus' communications director, that the group has no formal policy position that addresses that concern. But, Thornell said, \"That's one of those issues that's used to divide blacks and Hispanics. We need to be concerned about creating more jobs for everybody. I think we need to focus on job creation.\"

A laundry list of quibbles, complaints, observations
[McGuire Gibson] said in a phone call shortly after that column appeared that I had been \"taken in\" by the U.S. military authorities. He said that I \"fell for\" their line that the number of antiquities looted from the National Museum of Iraq in the chaos of Baghdad's fall was down at that point to 33.

A lucky accounting for most of Iraq's ancient treasures
Take, for example, Tribune correspondent Bill Glauber's April 13 story, which bore the headline, \"Artifacts survive war--not chaos,\" with the subhead, \"Looters seize museum treasures.\" Unlike some of his competitors at other newspapers, Glauber wisely avoided quantifying the losses, but described some of the items that museum workers said had been hauled off by looters. Among those quoted was the deputy director of the museum, Nidal Amin. Who should have known better what the losses had been?
