CORRECTION
 
We reported that top officials at the Legal Services Corp., the federal agency which provides legal aid to the poor, had cut their own meal allowances in half to provide more help to needy clients, half of whom are turned away due to budget constraints. In fact, the officials doubled their own meal allowances compared to their staff, while providing themselves with chauffeurs and other luxury perks. We regret any confusion caused by our mistake.
