In "World Without End", Joe Haldeman states that he made a
"grevious mistake on the very first page" of his first ST novel,
"Planet of Judgment." [Look in "Author's Note"]
He further states the mistake "has to do with a word that
that sounds similar to my name."

Does anyone know what this mistake is ?

Possibilities:
    1) Mr. Scott planning an afternoon maneuvers drill ?
    2) Calling Dr. Atheling "supercargo" ?
    3) Is the command chair really "soft" ?
    4) Could a shift begin at 1200 hours ?
