CORRECTION
An article which began with the statement, “A working system in need of only minor adjustment may be replaced with an enormously expensive and risky new system which does not and will not work,” was placed under the headline, “Bush Backs Privatizing Social Security.” It should have been placed under the headline, “Missile Defense Fails Another Key Test.” We apologize for the mix-up.
