"We strive for perfection but when you're typing that fast, there are occasional mistakes. We regret the error."

--ABC's CATHIE LEVINE after a closed caption for an ABC News' Tuesday broadcast said Federal Reserve Chairman ALAN GREENSPAN was hospitalized for "an enlarged prostitute" instead of an enlarged prostate, quoted in The Washington Post.
