Bringing Spanish Literature to Life (Correction)
The January 23 article “Bringing Spanish Literature to Life — in English” referred to translator Edith Grossman incorrectly. She is divorced.
The January 30 article “Cost of Medicine Imperiling Lives of Sick Survivors” cited a statistic incorrectly. If California’s proposed budget passes, the Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles will lose 10% of its $4.5 million — that is, $450,000 — in state funding for its case management program and adult healthcare centers, according to Paul Castro, executive director of the Jewish Family Service.
