Okay, what I don't understand is if I'm validating a book with page
numbers are at the bottom (which I'm doing now), why the Stripper does
not strip away the top line of text on every page if it so determinedly
chomps away a chapter name which only looks like a line of text to the
Stripper. (I think capitalizing the 'S' in Stripper makes it sound more
animate and intentional.)
Why don't I have to protect the top line of text if I have to put
asterisks or other junk text above a chapter name that only appears
once?

If the page numbers are at the bottom of the page you definitely have to
put something like the *********** at the top of pages with
section/chapter/story names (as the first reader found out all too
painfully from a book I recently validated *groan*).
You would think this stripper would know that the first time a new
header comes up it is a title to be kept. But no, it's outa there with
that title unless you give it something else above the title to remove.
Also, if there is a page number with nothing else on the same line at
the top of the page, that too will protect chapter names.
