Thanks for correcting some mistakes

Professor Shudo Higashinakano pointed out in September 1998 some 90 historical factual errors in just the first 64 pages of Iris Chang's hardback edition of The Rape of Nanking. Some are considered elementary-school level mistakes here. Apparently, the authoress has taken heed, and corrected a few in her paperbook edition. Here is a list of errors in the first few pages and how they have been dealt with.
