Something's Wrong With This Article

I was reading the Christian Science Monitor's online news article on Ambassador Caroline Kennedy's arrival in Japan when I spotted an error.

Can you spot it?

Here's the passage that contains the error:
The surviving member of the Kennedy presidential family highlighted this historical link when she landed in Tokyo, noting that because of her father’s plans in particular “it is a special honor for me to be able to work to strengthen the close ties between our two great countries.” 
Kennedy, who is expected to present her credentials to Emperor Hirohito on Nov. 19, noted that her arrival coincides with “the 50th anniversary of my father’s presidency.” Nov. 22 marks a half-century since President Kennedy’s assassination.

UPDATE: Emperor Hirohito (known now as Emperor Showa) died in 1989. The reigning monarch now is his son Emperor Akihito (Emperor Heisei). It would be an interesting trick for Caroline to present her credentials to Emperor Hirohito, wouldn't it?
