The May 4 issue of The Economist contains this rather interesting
correction on page 29:

    "Our story about extraterrestrials in Nevada (April 20th)
    mistakenly identified the state highway involved as 137.
    It should have been state highway 375.  Our correspondent
    was disoriented by blinding lights and sonic booms, and has
    since been detained at The Economists pleasure in a
    high-security government compound."
