Corrections and Clarifications

An item "Bal Thackeray undergoes surgery" ("Briefly", July 8, 2009, page 1) said that 89-year-old Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray was operated upon for a respiratory ailment and that doctors performed an angiography and an angioplasty. Mr. Thackeray is 83 and not 89. Angiography and angioplasty are not surgical procedures.
