Corrections from Last Issue :
There are a few corrections we would like to make to our cover story from Issue 9 on Carol Greenberg . The resource she referred to was “ Wright ’ s Law ( http :// wrightslaw . com ), not “ Rights Law .” She uses the methods of “ principled negotiation ,” not “ principle negotiation ” ( based on the work of the Harvard Negotiation Project ). Finally , she was referring to NYC ’ s “ Office of Pupil Transportation ,” not “ People Transportation .” We apologize to Carol and to you , our readers , for these mistakes .
