CORRECTION
In our Entertainment section last week we described a heart-pounding medical thriller in which thousands of samples of a deadly virus which killed millions worldwide in 1957 are accidentally sent to thousands of labs in countries around the globe, and the heroes must race against time to get them back. In fact this was not a movie but a news story and should have been identified as such. We apologize for the error.
