Arlen Specter and the Koby Mandell Act (Correction)
An article in the July 18 issue of the Forward incorrectly reported that Senator Arlen Specter had not signed on to the Koby Mandell Act. Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, supports the measure.
A photo caption in the August 1 issue incorrectly identified the members of the rock band The Successors. They were, from right to left, Max Klajman, Simon Zakalnik and Olek Kuperberg.
