Correction
In stories that appeared on Page A2 of the July 12 Herald and on Page A6 on July 16, the Associated Press reported about the release of a calendar featuring shirtless men who served as missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The story should have specified that the 12 men are not currently serving in the mission field for the church. They are former missionaries.
