I asked the Admin Moderator to redo the story and sent the correction. Unfortunately, I heard it in the car and missed some of the context that Elder may or may not have discussed.

Unfortunately that story is quite different than the Latin 10 remark posted earlier.

Well the reporter was being discrete, but other accounts show that was when it occurred and it was what was said.

It's one of those setups from a supporter who thinks he is helping his candidate even as he's steering him into trouble. "I think it's unfair that, as a New Englander, people often say that you won't resonate with the key Democratic constituencies around the country," a man tells Kerry. He suggests that the Massachusetts senator demonstrate his broad appeal by explaining the importance of the letter X on his baseball cap. At first, Kerry is confused. "The importance of ... the Latin--the ten?" he asks. The man clarifies that he means Malcolm X, which hardly makes things any easier for Kerry.
