EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally reported that the trial of attorney Michael Avenatti on tax fraud charges was to begin on Tuesday, August 27; a trial date has not yet been scheduled. Also, a photo used to illustrate the opening of the new “Star Wars: Galaxy Edge” theme park at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida was of the Universal Studios Theme Park in Florida. “Sunday Morning” regrets the errors.
