Thank you Dan, will fix promptly. This is the new new journalism: tightrope walking with no net. I have probably already fixed as many of the typos as I could find, and rebuked myself, the copy editor. The mathematics of this are, I could read this 3,000 times and still there would be a copy mistake. They're unfortunate and anathema to me, as a former copy editor myself. But if I worried excessively, I would be to paralyzed to press "publish".
