Dona,

     The man's far more contemptable than that.  Way back, about ten or more
years back, a reader actually wrote an artical for the New Republic.  His
name was Alan Hewitt, many of us have seen him as the cop on My Favorite
Martian.  He was truly p.o.ed about a change in NLS policy about reading
typos in books.  The policy used to be to contact the publisher, if
necessary, to find out what should have been written, and this policy had
changed to read whatever's there no matter how misprinted.  He got so
involved that the NLS eventually refused to have him read anything.  Btw,
all his work was done at AFB.
