	Corrections: July 23 New York Times July 23, 2011 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/23/pageoneplus/corrections-july-23.html?_r=1 NATIONAL An article on Tuesday about the impending retirement of Cardinal Justin Rigali, the Roman Catholic leader of Philadelphia, misstated his age and referred imprecisely to the process for retirement. The cardinal is 76, not 75. At age 75, bishops are required to offer their resignation and the pope can either accept it or allow them to continue to serve; 75 is not the “customary retirement age” for bishops. The article also misstated, in some editions, the name of the group to which Cardinal Rigali was elevated to in 2003. It is the College of Cardinals, not the House of Cardinals. BUSINESS DAY An article on Thursday about Countrywide Financial’s pending distribution to mortgage customers of a $108 million Federal Trade Commission settlement misstated the percentage of borrowers who will receive the largest amounts. Those who will receive $5,000 or more under the program total 0.16 percent of participants, not 5 percent. (The dollar amount to be received by those customers is 5 percent of the total.) The article also erroneously attributed a distinction to the Countrywide settlement. It involves one of the largest groups of recipients in an F.T.C. case, but not the largest. • Because of an editing error, an article on Friday about the sale of the government’s stake in Chrysler misstated the process that Fiat, which now owns 53.5 percent of Chrysler, could use to acquire an additional 5 percent stake by the end of the year. That stake would be obtained by issuing new shares in Chrysler; it would not come from the United Automobile Workers union’s health care trust fund. (Since Fiat and the union trust fund are the only remaining shareholders in the automaker, the issuance of the new shares would, in effect, reduce the size of the trust fund’s stake in Chrysler). WEEKEND An art review on June 24 about “Ryan Trecartin: Any Ever,” at MoMA PS1, misquoted part of a comment Mr. Trecartin made in a video in the exhibition. He said, “Am I overexisting or am I over existing? That’s my inside joke” — not “That is my inner joke.” MAGAZINE An article on Page 12 this weekend about the film “Life in a Day” refers erroneously to its direction. Kevin Macdonald was the documentary’s sole director; he did not direct it with Joseph Michael, who was one of several hundred contributors to the film. OBITUARIES An obituary on Thursday about Noel Gayler, a retired admiral who was commander of American forces in the Pacific and director of the National Security Agency in the 1970s, misstated the rank he held in 1945. He was a lieutenant commander, not an ensign. The obituary also referred imprecisely to Offutt Air Force Base, where Admiral Gayler was deputy director of strategic target planning. It was a base where, among other missions, nuclear targets were selected; it was not a nuclear weapons site.
