INTERNATIONAL
An article last Sunday about the resurgence in Brazil of its former president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, following lengthy treatment for throat cancer, described imprecisely the location of Angola, the Portuguese-speaking nation where Mr. da Silva has helped to expand Brazilian business interests. It is on the west coast of southern Africa; it is not a West African nation.
SPORTS
An article last Sunday about the perspective Bill O’Brien brings to the task of rebuilding the Penn State football program as its new head coach described his place of birth in Massachusetts incorrectly. He was born in Dorchester, which is a Boston neighborhood; it is not an Irish enclave “just outside Boston.”
METROPOLITAN
A museums and galleries listing in the New Jersey Calendar in some editions last Sunday misstated the location and hours for exhibits at the Stockton College Art Gallery at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. The exhibits “Perception Shift” and “Learning From New Jersey,” which are both scheduled to open on Wednesday and run through Nov. 17, are at 101 Vera King Farris Drive in Galloway, and the hours are Mondays through Saturdays, noon to 7:30 p.m., and Sundays, noon to 4 p.m.
ARTS & LEISURE
A picture caption last Sunday with an article about the increasing use of “written by” credits in documentaries misidentified where the director Joe Berlinger’s “Paradise Lost” films are set. It is Arkansas, not Kansas.
•
The caption for the Coming Attractions picture on the Week Ahead page on Aug. 19 misstated the name of a photograph by Zoe Crosher that will be appearing in “New Photography 2012” at the Museum of Modern Art, starting Oct. 3. It is “Mae Wested No. 4 (Crumpled),” not “Mae Wasted.”
STYLE
An article last week about Al Gore and his family referred incorrectly to Tom Styron, chairman of the Association to Benefit Children, a nonprofit group whose board includes Mr. Gore’s daughter Karenna Gore Schiff. He is a clinical psychologist, not a psychiatrist.
•
An article on Aug. 19 about Cornelia Guest misstated the surname of the designer of the topiary garden at her home. He was Russell Page, not Sage.
TRAVEL
An answer in the Q&A column on Aug. 19, about Benh Zeitlin, director of “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” misspelled the name of one of the American Indian tribes that live on Isle de Jean Charles in Louisiana’s bayou country. It is the Houma, not Houmo.
•
The Getaway column last Sunday, about remedies for on-the-road ailments, misstated a characteristic of bees. They sting; they do not bite.
BOOK REVIEW
A review on Aug. 12 about “City of Scoundrels,” by Gary Krist, misstated the numbers of people killed in the Chicago race riots of 1919, which lasted nearly a week. There were 23 blacks and 15 whites — not 263 blacks and 136 whites, which were the numbers of people injured by the third day. (The final injury toll was 342 blacks and 195 whites.)
SOCIETY
A report last Sunday about the wedding of Flannery Murphy and Christopher Geier referred incorrectly to the bride’s relationship with Richard J. Hughes, the former governor and chief justice of New Jersey. Mr. Hughes was the bride’s stepgrandfather, not her grandfather.
