| Transcriber's Note: In this plain text version, italics have been |
| rendered using underscores; both bold and small-caps using |
| all-caps (these never occur near each other, so no confusion |
| should arise); and the surnames of the subjects, which were in |
| bold sans-serif in the original, have been rendered in all-caps |
| with the # symbol on either side. The underscores have been |
| removed from a few italicized abbreviations where they were felt |
| to be a distraction. |
