Correction: June 17, 2001, Sunday

An article on April 29 about former Senator Bob Kerrey and his participation in a Vietnam War mission in which civilians were killed misstated the location of a Vietnamese island where another of Kerrey's missions took place. It was Hon Tam Island near the bay of Nha Trang, not in Cam Ranh Bay.
