That is strange. All LI can think is that perhaps at one point it was
removed and put on the download queue to be fixed because something was
wrong. One of the book,s, but I think it was the Last Speeches ...,
though--was returned to have the end-of-line paragraph symbols removed,
which I did; it would then have been added back to the collection. Maybe
the same thing happened to The Last Year of ...Or maybe that's the book,
and not the speeches.. and fact, now that I'm remembering, or trying to,
the content,that was thebook. Am I the volunteer listed as proofer?
