An article on Tuesday about plans by biologists to celebrate the 202nd anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth in rural areas around the country misidentified the city in Iowa where a museum official said he anticipated dissent over the festivities. The official was in Davenport, not Putnam. Because of an editing error, the article also referred incorrectly to the 475 events scheduled to mark Darwin’s Feb. 12 birthday. Besides the biologists’ visits, at least one celebration was scheduled in Virginia, Nebraska and Iowa; it was not the case that no events were planned in those states.  (Go to Article)
