YACOMANN

   Yacomann?  Cited in this article next to "chop suey."

   The yacomann is a sort of soup in which macaroni, meat and boiled eggs play the star parts.

MARION BURROS, "CHOP SUEY" & "COMFORT FOOD"

   Marion Burros also got "chop suey" wrong, too.
   Here are the 1985 articles where Burros "popularized" comfort food (according to William Safire).  Normally, when you're over half a decade late on a topic, you'd be embarrassed.
   If I did something like this in my job of parking tickets, I'd be fired immediately and I'd lose my license to practice law.  If the NEW YORK TIMES does this, it's corrected only under extreme pressure.
