FOR THE RECORD - Oct. 26, 2008

Calendar drawings: A cover story in today’s Calendar section about “Hard Times,” the impact of the economic downturn on culture, includes several staff-drawn sketches inspired by and parodying Rich Uncle Pennybags and the Chance and Community Chest cards of Monopoly, Parker Brothers’ board game that was published and popularized during the Great Depression of the 1930s. An explanation of the drawings and proper credit to Parker Brothers should have been included with a notation that no endorsement by Parker Brothers was intended or exists. The Times apologizes for the omission.
