A previous version of this story referenced the set of Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 biblical film The Ten Commandments. The correct year is 1923. DeMillle directed a second, expanded version of the story in 1956. In addition, the story incorrectly suggested the 1923 film is among the highest-grossing when adjusted for inflation and that its budget was more than $13 million. Both of those are true for the 1956 version. Also, the story stated that the sphinx was made of plastic; it was plaster.

Ford is one of nine vice presidents who became president when the president died or resigned. However, Ford was not Nixon's running mate; Spiro Agnew was, and was replaced by Ford after Agnew's resignation. The clue should have said, "Name the nine U.S. vice presidents who became president when the president died or resigned." This error did not affect the outcome of the game.

"corrections", "action" => "Click Story"} ">'Smart' Pill Bottles Aren't Always Enough To Help The Medicine Go Down

Corrected on August 23, 2017

A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the AdhereTech "smart" bottle glows red if a patient has missed a dose. As AdhereTech CEO Josh Stein tells NPR, the bottle does not do that.

With respect to the distribution of AdhereTech's bottles, Stein says they are being widely distributed and marketed, mostly in the U.S., but also in countries on three other continents.

With respect to the cost of AdhereTech's bottles, AdhereTech sells them to pharmacies, hospitals and other health care providers, who also get access to real-time information about the bottles' usage. The costs vary depending on the services that customers purchase, Stein says. The bottles are not sold directly to consumers. As to their cost, an analogy was earlier made to cellphone prices and service contracts. The analogy was meant to refer to the structure of contracts, not to the actual prices of AdHere's products and services, which Stein says are far less than those for cellphones and related services.

The data that Stein cites showing AdhereTech's bottles improved patients' adherence to their medication regimen by an average 24 percent are based, he says, on information from "multiple thousands" of bottle users with different types of diseases or conditions, from different clients.

In the audio version of this report, a large-scale evaluation of different bottle technology is cited. To be clear, that evaluation did not include tests of AdhereTech's bottles.

"That's just wrong. Turns out, I'm the forgetful one. Not only does Monsieur Jean reappear, but his being forgetful in this new bit of dialogue is actually setting up a plot thread that is important. It's part of the 'lots of back story' that I later praise the filmmakers for having concocted.

Following the broadcast of this report, Carson's office sent NPR the following statement about his comment regarding racial supremacist groups:

"This assertion was not based on a single statistic or on relative terror threat, but rather an assessment of the current environment. The congressman believes that when looking at relative membership numbers, hateful rhetoric, racially based hate crimes, and fatalities by right-wing organizations, it paints a picture of a larger threat to the safety of Americans and society as a whole. New America has an assessment of deaths from far right wing vs. violent jihadist terrorism. The FBI reported that in 2014, 47% of hate crimes were racially motivated. And the white supremacist group Stormfront has claimed additional interest in their content on the back of Donald Trump's recent comments. Additionally, it is important to remember that many attacks are inspired by an ideology rather than directed by an organization. Just as [the Islamic State] bears responsibility for lone wolf attacks in the United States, so do racial supremacist groups who inspire hate crimes. Taken together, he believes it is reasonable to say that the racial supremacist groups pose a more significant threat."
