oh, boy. I don't knowhow I'd proof that formatting; I'm sure it's
essential to the author's meaning but I've something i spirals or
circles before (I was a lot youner then) and I have a terrible time
with diagrams; I just re-write them into explanatory paragraphs
probably isn't good in this case. Hopefully someone more expert than
I could proof it -- maybe someone on the staff, or maybe Robin could
contact the 0ublisher and ask for an e-copy
