In the Dec. 21 issue, Mr. Smarty Pants wrote that the longest path one could walk in a straight line without hitting a lake, sea, or ocean begins by heading eastward from near Shanghai, ending on the Atlantic coast in Liberia. For those planning to make the trek, please note that this should have said "west" instead, because heading east takes you directly into the South China Sea. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
