Hi William,

A reader of our draft left me an annotated copy of it with some queries and corrections. From the 'queries,' I became convinced that we need a new little chapter giving a full and enlightening discussion of the word 'spectrum.' Along with that, we seem to need a definition of 'multiplicity,' and also a fuller explanation of why \sqrt accuracy is the gold standard. I'll try to write these. But here, also, are a dozen typos that I recorded from the marginal annotation. I hope they're easy to figure out and correct our draft .
