• An on Page 4 of Arts & Leisure article today about the singer Barbara Cook gives an incorrect spelling from the press office for her show "Mostly Sondheim" for the name of the show's bassist. He is Jon Burr, not John.

Week in Review

An article last Sunday about the use of ultimatums by India and Israel against governments in places where terrorists are harbored misspelled the name of a Harvard professor of international relations, who said it was dangerous for other nations to use a technique created by the United States as a global model. He is Stanley Hoffmann, not Hoffman.

Travel

An article on Dec. 23 about winter sports at the Balsams, a resort in New Hampshire, referred erroneously to the quality of dusk at this time of year. What occurs in winter is a solstice; equinoxes occur in March and September.

Sunday Styles

A picture caption in the Evening Hours column on Dec. 23 about the opening of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia misstated the surname of the woman shown with Joan Spain. She is Gerry Sills, not Seiller.

The City

An article in the Neighborhood Report pages on Dec. 23 about the purchase of a Christmas tree by a Bronx family misidentified a Latin-American feast day that follows Christmas. It is Three Kings Day, not the Feast of Six Kings. The article also misidentified the central market in Guatemala City, which sold Christmas trees. It is the Mercado Central, not Marcado Central.
