In our February 18 Seven Days column “Bart Cop Craziness,” and in
the February 13 blog post on which it was based, we erroniously wrote
that Oakland City Councilwoman Desley Brooks led a mob of angry people
as they took over a meeting of the BART board of directors. According
to the San Francisco Chronicle, upon whose account our
description relied, Brooks attended the meeting and argued with BART
director Joel Keller, during which several members of the audience
briefly charged Keller. But there is no evidence to suggest that Brooks
was responsible for the crowd’s actions.
In our February 25 Museum and Galleries pick, the work shown is “A
Trapped Star Escapes,” not “Self-Portrait for Hotsapien.com Video Interview.”
