Clarification

In the Dec. 1 issue of the Chronicle, science writer Dava Sobel, author of the recently published book, The Planets, was described as being brought into the “orbit” of the Committee on Creative Writing as the sixth Robert Vare Writer-in-Residence. The article indicated that alumnus Robert Vare provided the financing for this program, but it also should have noted that Vare finds, recruits and secures the services of the writers in the program.
