Will the real Olga Rudge please stand up?

As found in the Jan. 2, 2006 print edition of The New Yorker:

EDITORS' NOTE: The New Yorker review of "The City of Falling Angels," by John Berendt (Penguin Press), in the issue of October 3, 2005, incorrectly referred to the "seduction and swindling of Olga Rudge, Ezra Pound's mistress, by the director of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection." This statement was inaccurate, and The New Yorker regrets the error.

Hmmm. Perhaps they meant to say, the "flatulence and armored car heists of Ludmilla Plinge, T.S. Eliot's mother-in-law, by the day manager of the O'Farrell Theater."
