· A Feb. 15 Business article on efforts by the Internal Revenue Service to collect unpaid taxes misstated the amount of money that was eventually recouped. The total was $55 billion of the $345 billion in taxes that were initially underpaid in 2001.

· A Feb. 15 Sports column incorrectly indicated that Nikolai Khabibulin, Alexei Zhitnik and Alexei Zhamnov are on the Russian Olympic hockey team. All three are injured.

· The Food 101 column in the Feb. 15 Food section misidentified the French farmer who revived the production of Epoisses de Bourgogne cheese. He was Robert Berthaut of Bourgogne, not Philippe Olivier. Olivier is a well-known cheesemonger in Boulogne-sur-Mer.

· A Feb. 14 article about a study on happiness incorrectly said that a presidential impeachment occurred in the mid-1970s. President Richard M. Nixon resigned in 1974, after the House Judiciary Committee had approved articles of impeachment but before the full House could vote on the matter.

· A recipe in the Feb. 8 Food section included an incorrect cooking time for an adaptation of chef Roberto Donna's recipe for carbonada (braised beef with onions and red wine). The dish should be cooked for 2 1/2 hours, not 10 to 20 minutes.
