THE WASHINGTON POST GETS IT BACKWARD ON PELL GRANTS: At least they admitted the error:

The headline on a Dec. 24 article about the Education Department’s new formula for federal college scholarship aid incorrectly said that fewer students will be eligible for Pell Grants. Although 80,000 to 90,000 grantees at the higher-income end will be dropped from the Pell program in the 2005-2006 academic year, the department expects more students to be eligible overall because of a rising number of low-income high school graduates.

But, of course, the correction isn’t as prominent as the error.
