Favorite homes: Saturday's Home section cover package, which featured a panel of experts' favorite houses in Southern California, included an incorrect photograph to represent the 1968 Kappe House in Pacific Palisades. The photo was of another Ray Kappe-designed house, the 1973 Katzenstein House, also in Pacific Palisades. The 1968 Kappe House is at right. Elsewhere in the package, a caption described Rudolph Schindler's Kings Road House in West Hollywood as the first residence built in the Modern style, a subjective observation that some experts contest.
'Waltz With Bashir': The review of the movie "Waltz With Bashir" in the Dec. 25 Calendar referred to thousands of Palestinian civilians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon being massacred by Christian Falangist militias in 1982. News accounts differ, but reports published in The Times in recent years put the number of dead at 700 to 800.
Mark Sanchez: An article in Monday's Section A about USC quarterback Mark Sanchez and his development into a role model for Mexican Americans gave the wrong last name for a USC professor it quoted. He is Ricardo Ramirez, not Ricardo Rodriguez.
Zen-inspired residence: The Home of the Week feature in Business on Sunday said the Mount Washington property's artist studio was 32 feet by 76 feet. The correct dimensions are 10 feet by 18 feet.
'The Naked City': An article about Dustin Hoffman in the Dec. 24 Calendar section referred to Barry Sullivan appearing in the film "Naked City." Barry Fitzgerald starred in the film, whose full title is "The Naked City."
