Juvenile sentencing: In Tuesday’s Section A, an article about California sentences that are likely to be reviewed following a Supreme Court ruling putting limits on prison terms for juveniles contained a paragraph that was incomplete. The phrase “for kidnapping for ransom” was omitted. The paragraph should have read: “A search of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation records turned up only two prisoners serving life without the possibility of parole for kidnapping for ransom, one of the few state offenses — along with attempted murder of a police officer — that can land a juvenile behind bars for life.”

Vacation survey: An article in Tuesday’s Business section about an American Express survey on vacation trends said that 67% of Americans who plan to travel this summer would spend more money than they did a year earlier. In fact, the survey said that 67% would spend the same amount of money or more than last summer.

Rolling Stones: A photo caption with Sunday’s Arts & Books section article on the reissue of the Rolling Stones’ “Exile on Main St.” said the 1972 album debuted at No. 1. It did not debut at the top of the chart, but it eventually spent four weeks at No. 1.

Ring cycle: A graphic in Sunday’s Arts & Books section showing the relationships between the characters in the operas said that Wotan kills Hagen and Hunding. Wotan kills only Hunding.
