CORRECTION:

The item referring to the presentation of recent publications by the Shevchenko Scientific Society on April 19 in New York (which appeared in the April 13 issue) carried an incongruous statement in regard to three former members of the society: Hryhoriy Luzhnytsky, Wasyl Lew and Dr. Roman Osinchuk. The aforementioned members were honored with individual publications, and not a compendium or a general publication, that came out in Ukrainian.
