Only one of the four TWA hijack victims separated from the others because of their “Jewish sounding” names is in fact Jewish. He is Richard Herzberg, 33, of Norfolk, Va. The JTA Daily News Bulletin of July 2 reported erroneously that Michael Brown, 27, of North Miami Beach, Fla., was among the four. Brown is Jewish but was not separated. Robert Brown of Stow, Mass., who is not Jewish, was separated.
