St. John's Wort was never intended for use by severely depressed people. It is for short-term use and should never be taken daily for long periods of time. St. John's is safe when used properly and does take the edge off PMS, the blues and mild depression. PEG BOARDMAN Somerset, Mass.

Correction

In our story on Napster that mentioned Senate Judiciary Committee hearings [BUSINESS, April 16], we incorrectly said that musicians Alanis Morissette and Don Henley joined Napster CEO Hank Barry in trying "to sell the Senate on compulsory licenses--giving websites the same status as radio stations, which pay royalty fees for playing music." Rather, Morissette did not directly address the issue of licensing, and Henley stated that compulsory licenses should be considered, but only as a last resort.
