CORRECTION
 
In our Entertainment section we described a recent remake of the classic movie Inherit the Wind, about the famous trial in 1925 pitting a high school teacher who defies religious fanatics trying to force him to teach the biblical story of creation instead of evolution in his science class. In fact, no remake is planned, and the story, about a current conflict in the state of Kansas, is news and should have been identified as such. We regret the error.
