Erratum: Brian Lamb, the latest recipient of the AHA's Theodore Roosevelt-Woodrow Wilson Public Service Award, is C-SPAN's president and chief executive officer (and not, as indicated in the annual meeting Program and in the annual meeting supplement to the December 2004 issue of Perspectives, C-SPAN's chief operating officer).
