Corrections

In "Summary Judgment" on Feb. 20, Ben Williams wrote that 11 of the top 20 shows on television are reality shows. In fact, that statistic pertains only to the top 20 shows on television among viewers ages 18 to 34.

In a Feb. 19 "Webhead," David S. Bennahum wrote that the Internet phone company Skype "uses an encryption algorithm built by RSA known as 256-bit AES." In fact, RSA did not build this algorithm. It was invented by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen. Also, due to a copy-editing error, the Federal Communications Commission was incorrectly referred to as the Federal Communications Committee.
