According to Starwood, it received boxes of Starwood...
...April 17 news article "SLAM Protests Staff Layoff" incorrectly attributed a quotation to "Lutjens." In fact, the quote was from Lela M. Klein, a former Service Employees International Union organizer and a current student at the Law School...
