as we see it His Excellency, the Ambassador of the Dominican Republic, Hon. Joaquin E. Salazar, has asked us to correct an error that appeared in a late July issue of TV GUIDE. We take this op¬ portunity, not only to correct the mistake, but to voice a sincere apol¬ ogy to the Ambassador, and to the Dominican Republic, for unintention¬ ally slighting that country. Our story was titled: “How To Dance —And Pronounce—‘The Merengue.’” The first paragraph read: “The mer¬ engue (a dance, not a pie) is danced, according to a native of Trinidad (where it originated) ‘as though you were walking up a hill sideways with a ball and chain around one foot.’ ” The “merengue” did not originate in Trinidad. It originated in the Domini¬ can Republic, and, according to the Ambassador, has been danced there for more than a century. Documen¬ tary evidence he supplied, in the form of a Dominican Republic maga¬ zine article, lists among the popular “merengue” tunes, “Alevantate (Raise ‘N’ Go)” and ‘‘Comiendo Gallina (Eating Hen—Not Chicken — Hen).” In checking to see how we mistakenly attributed a Dominican Republic dance to Trinidad, we found that the original story quoted a native of Trinidad, who was describing the dance. Later on in the piece, the writer had said that the dance origi¬ nated in the Dominican Republic. An editor erroneously cut out the men¬ tion of the Dominican Republic and inserted the parenthetical phrase that prompted the Ambassador’s letter. It is indeed regrettable that the error occurred, and we are happy to publish what the Ambassador requested: “The necessary correction in the interest of accuracy and fairness.” CONTENTS WEEK OF AUGUST 13-19 Local Program Guide Opens Opposite Page 12 TELETYPES New York .. 3 Hollywood .23 ARTICLES Atovie Studios Say: 'Love That Television!' . 4 How To Beat The Clock . 8 Barbara Nichols: TV's Answer To Marilyn Monroe .10 Mel Blanc Is A One-Man Menagerie . 15 'The Search' Goes On . 18 The Cisco's Kids . 20 CARTOON FEATURE That Nasty Old TVl . 7 REVIEWS Those Whiting Girls .13 Do It Yourself . 14 COLUMNS Fine Tuning • By Ollie Crawford 4 Confidentially . . .
