"Airbus, owned by Dutch and British companies, surpassed Boeing in
2003 as the world's largest maker of airliners."

After reading the above LA Times quote, I'm a little wary of Mr. Pae's
facts. Shouldn't that be "French" rather than "Dutch"?

German, British, French, and Spanish, plus some generally traded shares. No
Dutch, unless they own some of the common shares.

Right.

Oh well, I guess we all misspeak at times. US Supreme Court Chief
Justice, the reputed brilliant, John Roberts certainly did while
speaking after being sworn in:

The process we have just completed epitomizes the separation of
powers that is enshrined in our Constitution.

My nomination was announced some 10 weeks ago here in the White
House, the home of the executive branch. This morning, further up
Pennsylvania Avenue, it was approved in the Capitol, the home of
the executive branch.

And, tomorrow, I will go into the Supreme Court building to join
my colleagues, the home of the judicial branch, to undertake my
duties.

The one I'll alsways remember:

Hubert (Horatio) Humphrey
(Mayor of Mpls, MN Senator, VP under LBJ, 1968 Presidential candidate, MN
Senator again)

Humphrey's 1978 funeral - President Jimmy Carter's eulogy. Ooops!!
"I am speaking of a great man who should have been President and would have
been one of the greatest Presidents in history, Hubert Horatio Hornblower."

Nice try, but it wasn't Humphrey's funeral, although people frequently
cliam it was. It was during his acceptance speech at the Democtratic
National Convention in August of 1980. I remember watching that speech
live. Humphrey died over two years earlier.

A pathetic mistake by a journalist.

The Airbus majority shareholder company EADS NV has a Dutch addess viz

European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company EADS N.V.
Le Carré · Beechavenue 130-132 · 1119 PR Schiphol Rijk · The Netherlands.

Airbus itself is 80% owned by EADS and 20% by BAE Systems.

it took 2 minutes to find that out.
