...would like to clear up an error made in the printing of a photograph and caption in the Behavior section [Nov. 24]. The couple depicted are in no sense "troubled parents." Their family is indeed a happy one, with the photograph of them and their children attesting to the fruits of visits in earlier years by the couple only...
...National Transportation Safety Board investigation may take several weeks, but preliminary findings point to some computer error, perhaps because it was fed wrong information. The Federal Aviation Administration has centers at points along the path of every flight above 18,000 feet within the Golden Triangle-the Chicago, New York, Wash ington area-where computers assign airspace to planes.

There is no indication in the agreement students sign that written observational data about them will "routinely" be maintained, as Bales says they are. Bales called the lack of information in the agreement an "omission by error. Now that I note it isn't there," he says...
