CORRECTION
Due to an editing error, the incorrect dates were given for the 1998 convention ("The Braille Forum," August 1997). The correct dates are July 4-11, 1998.
The name of the prime minister for education and employment in Great Britain was misspelled ("British Parliamentary Elections Result In Firsts For Disabled Office Holders," August 1997). The correct spelling is David Blankett.
