Correction to This Article
A Sept. 14 article that mentioned investment banker Frank Quattrone, and a Sept. 16 clarification, should have specified that the people who purchased shares in initial public offerings from Credit Suisse First Boston were technology executives who had brokerage accounts there; most were not Quattrone's friends, and none was a CSFB co-worker.

Corrections

· The Reliable Source column in the Sept. 15 Style section misidentified a man who was talking to Karen Hughes at an anniversary party for "The Chris Matthews Show." He was Newsweek political correspondent Howard Fineman, not Sidney Blumenthal.

· A Sept. 8 Business article incorrectly said that the U.S. government restricts U.S. airline flights into China. It is the Chinese government that restricts the flights.

· The Sept. 15 Weekend section incorrectly indicated that the movie "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" is rated NC-17. It is unrated.

CLARIFICATION


· A Sept. 13 article on Silicon Valley may have left the impression that associates of investment banker Frank Quattrone got the chance to buy shares in initial public offerings of stock at prices determined before the offerings. They were given the opportunity to buy shares at the offering price.
