CORRECTION
Last week, in an article about CBS's decision to develop a sitcom based on the World Trade Center attacks, we described it as “using a national tragedy for crass and commercial purposes,” “exploitation of a nation's grief,” and “irresponsible behavior of the worst kind by a large corporation.” Missing, due to a typo, was the phrase “sick and immoral act of depravity.” We are sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
