Correction

In last week's report on the trial testimony of Richard Brenneke, page 58, an editorial error crept in, with the help of our computer's "search and replace" function. Following the first question by prosecutor O'Rourke, the remaining questions were all asked by him, not by defense attorney Scott. Also, we regret the misspelling of Mr. Brenneke's name.
