Corrections and clarifications

A sentence in the lead story "Pramod Mahajan loses battle for life" (May 4, 2006, page 1) read: "He was immediately operated upon to stem the flow of blood, particularly from the damaged liver, pancreas and the Inferior Vina Cava (IVC), the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the stomach to the heart." A consultant urologist from Mysore says it is Inferior Vena Cava. It is the main blood vessel carrying deoxygenated blood from the lower extremities and almost all the major abdominal organs and not that of the stomach alone. In Pramod Mahajan's case, it was injured because of its situation behind the pancreas.

A reader has protested against the headline "Delhi students protest against move for reservation for OBCs" (May 3, 2006). He says "protest" means "a fight or declaration against". In American English, "against" is dropped.
