In a May 26 "Sports Nut," Lily Burana originally misstated the date when Professional Bull Riders Inc. was founded. It was 1992, not 1994.

In this May 14 "Movies" column, David Edelstein quoted a character saying, "The Earth is a conductor of ecological resonance"; the character said "acoustical resonance."
