New Republic Cancels an Invite to Foe of Saudis (Correction)

An October 10 article, “New Republic Cancels an Invite to Foe of Saudis,” mischaracterized Stephen Schwartz’s affiliation with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. He was formerly the director of the foundation’s Islam and Democracy Project and is no longer affiliated with the foundation.
