Mental health laws: In the Jan. 11 Section A, an article about identifying potentially violent mentally ill people said that California requires officials to demonstrate that a person has “grave” disability and also poses a danger to himself or others before he can be compelled to get involuntary mental health treatment. California law allows commitment on either of those grounds.
Exorcism show: An item in the Quick Takes column in the Jan. 7 Calendar section identified a Discovery Channel show as “The Exorcism Files.” The name of the show is “The Exorcist Files.”
