[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 ? John T.
