Corrections April 7

the nho | school health |

An article on March 28 about voter registration groups that have curbed their efforts in Florida because of a new law that imposes restrictions on them misstated the date that the new law took effect. It was May 2011, not July. (After the bill was signed in May, groups that were already registered with the state were given 90 days to comply with some of its provisions.)

FRONT PAGE

NATIONAL

An article on Feb. 16 about the efforts by advocates for same-sex marriage to win over blacks in Maryland misidentified the home state of Michael Kenneth Williams, an actor from the Baltimore-based television series "The Wire." He was born and raised in New York, not in Maryland.

An article last Saturday about the fight to change prison policies on solitary confinement rendered incorrectly the name of a correctional department whose gang management program has been a model for other states. It is the Connecticut Department of Correction, not the Connecticut Department of Corrections.

BUSINESS DAY

A picture caption on Wednesday with an article about the testing of satellite technology to help streamline airplane landings described incorrectly some equipment shown. The heads-up display in front of the pilot in the photograph is used for landing under conditions of limited visibility; it is not related to the GPS used in the satellite-guided landings.

THE ARTS

An entry in the "What's on Today" television highlights on Thursday about a documentary short on HBO, "God Is the Bigger Elvis," about the former movie star Dolores Hart, misstated the title of a film in which she appeared. It is "Wild Is the Wind," not "Wild in the Wind."

WEEKEND

An article on Friday about the 1944 killing of David Kammerer by the Beat Generation figure Lucien Carr misidentified the source of a screenplay based on the killing. The screenplay, "Kill Your Darlings," now in production, was written by John Krokidis and Austin Bunn. They did not adapt it from "And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks," a roman à clef written in 1945 by Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs that tells a similar version of the killing.

A report in the "Arts, Briefly" column on Friday about the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2012-13 season of concerts, lectures and other events, which includes performances of all of Beethoven's string quartets by the Endellion String Quartet, misstated the number of string quartets Beethoven composed. It is 16 — not 32, which is the number of piano sonatas he composed.

MAGAZINE

The Riff column on Page 52 this weekend, about musical obscurity and how it is no longer an honor, misspells the surname of a singer about whom everybody knows something (or at least something other than her name). She is Lana Del Rey, not Ray.
