Are George W. Bush's slips, his word manglings [NATION, Sept. 4], his inadequate knowledge of international politics and geography just owing to his having a bad day? I don't think so. It reminds me of some of the gaffes of former Vice President Dan Quayle. I hope Americans will not decide to elect a President who has similar dubious qualities. KURT E.

Correction
Our story on the National Institutes of Health's new guidelines on human stem-cell research contained two errors [HEALTH, Sept. 4]. Under the guidelines, government-funded scientists will not be allowed to use early-stage embryos. They will be able to use material provided by private companies derived from embryos left over from in-vitro fertilizations. Also, contrary to what we said, there is no ban on using federal funds for fetal-tissue research.
