For the record
Big Sur fire: A map with an article in Monday's Section A about the Basin Complex fire, as well as maps of the fire in other recent editions, showed Big Sur's Nepenthe Restaurant on the east side of Highway 1. It is on the west side of the highway.
Marimba byline: An article in Saturday's Calendar about the Zeltsman Marimba Festival carried an incorrect byline. The article was written by David Mermelstein, not David Mermelste.
Handgun ban -- An article in Saturday's Section A on District of Columbia residents interested in legally purchasing handguns referred to a federal ban on the transport of firearms across state lines. In fact, the ban prohibits the purchase of a handgun in a state in which the buyer is not a resident unless the weapon is transferred for pickup to a federally licensed firearms dealer in the buyer's home state.
UCLA film school: The Scriptland column in the July 1 Calendar section about Richard Walter, chair of UCLA's screenwriting program, identified UCLA donors David Geffen, Barbra Streisand, Jerry Lewis and Jane and Terry Semel as alumni of the university. In fact, Walter referred to them as prominent entertainment industry figures, not as UCLA alumni. None of them graduated from UCLA.

Ringo Starr's band: A story in Monday's Calendar about Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band stated that Rockpile guitarist Billy Bremner is part of the group, along with Billy Squier, Colin Hay, Hamish Stuart and Gary Wright. Bremner is not on this tour of Starr's band.
South Los Angeles: A photo caption with an article in Monday's California section about the area formerly called South Central L.A. said a mural depicting the neighborhood's once-thriving jazz scene was at 25th Street and Adams Boulevard. The mural is at 25th Street and Central Avenue.
Traffic court: An article in Saturday's California section about traffic courts incorrectly described a stop sign as hexagonal in shape. Stop signs are octagonal.
