* Baldwin’s name is not on this column but it is on part II tomorrow.

** I recently noticed that some of the communique sections are called Texts (plural) of the Day’s Communiques and some are called Text (singular) of the Day’s Communiques. They switch back and forth. My working theory is that there were two typesetters at the Times who had different opinions as to the proper grammar – HJS.
