Thanks Mayrie, I love your answer! I'll do it just that way.
Tim

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...
Deborah

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.
Tim

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
