Perhaps the bankers know the producers too well. A CORRECTION There has been a regrettable confusion of names in our March issue. Reporting an extract from Nawab Sir Liaqat Hayat Khan's speech, he was described by our reporter as a "Pakistan Town-crier". We are now told mat Nawab Sir Liaqat Hayat is the elder brother of the late Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan and does not belong to any party. We regret that Nawab Sir Liaqat Hayat Khan was inadvertently mixed up with Nawabzada Liaqat Ali of the Muslim League and we regret the annoyance caused to Nawab Sir Liaqat Hayat Khan.
