In this June 2 "Music Box" about West Side Story, David Yaffe misquoted the lyrics to "Somewhere."  He wrote, "We'll find a new way of giving," but Maria actually sings, "We'll find a way of forgiving."

The June 2 "War Stories" originally misspelled Gen. Paul Van Riper's family name.

The June 1 "International Papers" originally described child star Adrian Hall as "in his 30s." In fact, Hall is now in his 40s.
