United ran the wrong number in full-page advertisements Tuesday in The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. Those who called the toll-free number were instructed to call another 1-800 number to reach the ''talk line.'' There, they were greeted by the recorded voice of a woman who clearly was not a United reservations employee. United spokeswoman Chris Nardella said the company and its ad agency inadvertently sent ads with the wrong number to the newspapers.

We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism. - Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"
