CORRECTIONS: In the Your Health story "Calling the Shots" (July/August 2007), we incorrectly stated that "each year, 300,000 kids die of measles in the U.S." According to the World Health Organization, 345,000 people worldwide died of measles in 2005. The latest figures from the Center for Disease Control show that there were 53 cases of measles in the U.S. in 2006, and no deaths. We apologize for the error, and applaud our success in fighting this scourge.

In the July/August feature story "A Nuclear Phoenix?" an editing error rendered the 700 million metric tons of carbon dioxide that nuclear power operations avoid in the U.S. annually as 700 metric tons. We regret that error, too.
