Corrections

In the March 31, 1995 issue, the cover photo caption failed to identify the two masked Zapatista leaders in the front row. They are, from the left, “Subcommander Marcos” and “Commander Ramona.”

In the same issue, on p. 24, under the item 8, “Amnesty International,” the Portuguese government targeted was that of the late António (not Joao) Salazar.

In the March 24, 1995 issue, on p. 15, Viktor Chernomyrdin should have been identified as the Russian Prime Minister, rather than as the Foreign Minister.
