		CORRECTION AND CLARIFICATION In an April 24, 1998, article, "Is the Fox Guarding the Henhouse?" by Jonathan Broder, Salon reported that American Spectator officials involved in the magazine's internal audit of funds expended on the Arkansas Project had not questioned Parker Dozhier, who is alleged to have passed on Arkansas Project money to Whitewater witness David Hale. In fact, according to American Spectator publisher Terry Eastland, he has interviewed Dozhier "on several occasions." Salon also reported that Theodore Olson is currently the treasurer of the American Spectator. Olson was secretary-treasurer of the American Spectator from the fall of 1996 until January 1998, but no longer serves in that position, which is currently filled by Eastland. Olson continues to serve on the magazine's board of directors. In addition, Eastland states that he is not, as the article suggested, answerable only to Olson on the audit matter, but to a three-member subcommittee of the magazine's board, including Olson, charged with reviewing the findings and making recommendations. In the article, Salon reported that former publisher Ronald Burr had "ordered" an independent audit to be conducted by the Arthur Andersen accounting firm, an order that was later "canceled" at the behest of Olson. In fact, the audit was not "ordered," but strongly recommended by Burr, and rejected by Olson, along with certain other board members and American Spectator editor R. Emmett Tyrrell. Burr was fired soon afterwards. The article further stated that Olson "successfully represented [David] Hale in his bid to quash a subpoena to testify before the Senate Whitewater Committee." Hale, represented by Olson, refused to testify to the committee, employing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The matter went no further after Democrats on the committee refused to grant immunity to Hale in order to force him to testify. Salon acknowledges and regrets the errors. The corrections and clarifications have been incorporated into the story. SALON | May 5, 1998
