Due to a typo, an "Explainer" column published Apr. 3 mistakenly referred to uncircumsized men as circumsized.

In the April 2 “Food,” Nadia Arumugam stated that the Gopan breadmaker was made by Sanrio. It is manufactured by Sanyo, a subsidiary of Panasonic. She also stated that the American occupation of Japan ended in 1953; it ended in 1952.
