Hi Tim,
When you have text that needs to be set aside from the regular text, here's
how I do it. First, use three asterisks on a line by themselves to denote
white space surrounding the boxed or other text that isn't part of the
regular text. Also, if a particular section of text is in a box, for
instance you could do this:
* * *
[Text in a box]
Type the text here.
* * *
Then carry on with the text.
Deborah is correct. We shouldn't add quotation marks around things that
don't have quotation marks in the printed copy of the book.
If you can't think of an appropriate label for text that is outside the
normal flowing text, simply insert it where it is least disturbing to the
reading flow and surround it by asterisks before and after as I have done
above.
Hope that helps.
Mayrie

Hi Tim,
I don't think we're supposed to add quotation marks if they're not in the
print. It's been a while since I read the book so I can't remember if the
quoted material was confusing to me or not.
If it seems confusing and is outside the flow of the text I guess you could
set the quoted material off as a sidebar i.e., [sidebar] and [end sidebar].
I thought that all of the quotes were footnoted, but perhaps not.
Thanks for proofing this one...

Hi Deborah,
I finally got a copy of the book from the library so I could proof the book.
I'm so glad that you deleted the charts, I was worried about how to do an
image description. There are a lot of inset, smaller paragraphs that are
quotes from people or printed sources that were put that way for the quotes.
Do you think I should put quotation marks around them to separate them from
the author's words?
From what I read of just the introduction, this will be an excellent book
and should be in every library in the country! I wish I could send a copy to
the President and every member of Congress. It should be on the news so
everyone would go out and get a copy. Guess I'm a radical.

Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "With Liberty and Justice For Some: How the
Law is Used to Destroy Equality and Protect the Powerful" by Glenn
Greenwald.
It's been read through w/errors corrected, headers stripped, page
numbers/chapter titles present, text and headings formatted. 291 pages.
Description:
From the nation's beginnings, the law was to be the great equalizer in
American life, the guarantor of a common set of rules for all. But over the
past four decades, the principle of equality before the law has been
effectively abolished. Instead, a two-tiered system of justice ensures that
the country's political and financial class is virtually immune from
prosecution, licensed to act without restraint, while the politically
powerless are imprisoned with greater ease and in greater numbers than in
any other country in the world.
Starting with Watergate, continuing on through the Iran-Contra scandal, and
culminating with Obama's shielding of Bush-era officials from prosecution,
Glenn Greenwald lays bare the mechanisms that have come to shield the elite
from accountability. He shows how the media, both political parties, and the
courts have abetted a process that has produced torture, war crimes,
domestic spying, and financial fraud.
Cogent, sharp, and urgent, this is a no-holds-barred indictment of a
profoundly un-American system that sanctions immunity at the top and
mercilessness for everyone else.
Deborah
