An article on Dec. 17 about a hearing in the case against Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, two Penn State University officials who have been charged with perjury and failure to report a crime, quoted incorrectly from testimony by John McQueary, the father of Mike McQueary, a Penn State assistant football coach who had testified that he witnessed the former Penn State assistant Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulting a young boy. Although, as the article correctly noted, John McQueary testified that he thought that university officials had failed in their handling of the episode, he said, “I am not in position to say Gary Schultz didn’t do anything about it.” He did not say, “I’m now in the position to say Gary Schultz did nothing about it.”

THE ARTS

An article on Monday about the study of the literary history of word processing by Matthew G. Kirschenbaum, an associate professor of English at the University of Maryland, misstated part of a comment by Darren Wershler, the research chairman in media and contemporary literature at Concordia University in Montreal. He said, “Writing about word processing when that’s how you write is like trying to write about the back of your own head” — not “like trying to write about your own hand.”

A report in the “Arts, Briefly” column on Thursday about the casting of Donna Hanover as a reporter in the coming Broadway revival of “Gore Vidal’s The Best Man” referred incorrectly to her journalism career. Ms. Hanover is a reporter for a program on CUNY TV; she is not a “former” journalist.

A report in the “Arts, Briefly” column last Friday about plans to release the Captain Beefheart album “Bat Chain Puller” more than 36 years after it was recorded misstated the given name of the biographer of Don Van Vliet, who performed as Captain Beefheart. The biographer, who said Mr. Van Vliet had resisted releasing the recording when he was alive, is Mike Barnes, not Mark.
