■ Correction: Because of a reporting error, in today’s Ideas section, which was printed in advance, a story about Boston in the 1770s incorrectly identifies the date the Declaration of Independence was read aloud at the Old State House in Boston. It was July 18, 1776. The Globe regrets the error.
The Globe welcomes information about errors that call for corrections. Information may be sent to comments@globe.com or left in a message at 617-929-8230.
