Corrections

A story on the Clinton administration's efforts to bridge the digital divide ("Political tangle in hardwiring nation," April 19, p. 2) misstated the cost of a program to subsidize phone service for 300,000 native Americans. Estimates indicate it will cost $17 million annually, and amount to less than a penny per month increase in consumers' long-distance bills.

Also, the congressman pushing to dismantle the E-rate subsidy, which provides Internet access to schools and libraries, is W. J. "Billy" Tauzin (R) of Louisiana.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
