Spelling of Scorsese name in citation

Whoever has access to this source, can you verify whether the reviewer spelled Martin Scorsese's name incorrectly, or was that just a typo when creating this WP article?

ix. Thomas, Kevin. op.cit., p. 9. “In its stream-of-consciousness way ‘Blood’ (1975), evokes Manhattan street life even more powerfully than Martin Scorcese’s ‘Taxi Driver’ (to be released Wednesday at selected theaters).

I wrote to Alexis about this and got this reply:

Dear Reseda, I double-checked the actual article from Tuesday, FEb. 23, 1976, p.9 Part IV, Los Angeles Times, "Movie Review" Feminist Films at the Vanguard" by Kevin Thomas, and he actually spelled it "Martin Scorcese's". So it's "Scorcese's (sic)" after all - not my typo. I have a xerox of the article if anyone needs it. I don't know how to send wikipedia the correction, so please let me know if you can send it in or not, or what the next step would be. Thanks. Love, Alexis

I had in the meantime corrected the spelling on the page so the links would work. I hate to repeat the reviewer's mistake just for the sake of correctness, it seems like an insult to say (sic) in every use of the quote. Please advise me what to do with the Widipedia page quote. I could put a scan up in a permanent place - it could be on her website server and provide a link. The original is not onine anywhere else. Sedaray (talk) 14:01, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
