Last week's review of "Special Providence" gave an undeserved promotion to Alexander Hamilton. Jack Hamilton (no relation) wrote to us: "Powerful politician, aide to George Washington, secretary of Treasury, leader of the Federalists, attorney for the fledgling DuPont Co., etc. he was, but not president of the United States."

We'll share the blame for an error in our review of "Sinclair Lewis," also last week. The caption to a photo of Lewis taken from the book published by Random House gave an incorrect date for his Nobel Prize in Literature. Several readers let us know that the author of "Babbitt" and "Main Street" actually won the Nobel honor in 1930.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
