In the Jan. 1, 2001 "News in Brief," which was bannered on the front page, we identified ICA President Dr. Robert J. Hoffman with the photo of Dr. John A. Hofmann. We apologize to both doctors for the misidentification.

Contrary to appearances, we do know the difference between Robert and John, as we've spoken of them numerous times in DC.

  • Dr. Robert Hoffman (2 f's, 1 n) was elected president of the ICA at the association's 73rd annual convention, May 20-23, 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia, which we reported on in the June 14, 1999 issue of DC.

    •  

  • Dr. John Hofmann (1 f, 2 n's) wrote the "View from the Field" column for DC (1994-1995). He is an active member of the ICA and was the ICA's "Chiropractor of the Year," an honor we reported on in the June 4, 1993 issue of DC.

Although BCBS denies any wrongdoing, the company agreed to the settlement to avoid lengthy litigation – and you can get a piece of the pie.

Upon reading this, some might ask if the WFC policy is targeting the activities of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) in providing international membership to Japanese individuals who do not hold a chiropractic degree from an accredited institution.
