The paragraphs in the Timeline at the beginning of the book, with
hanging indentation, were made from separate, ├Тhard-coded├У
lines. They have been reformatted into regular paragraphs.
Un-indented the chapter headings and increased the paragraph

immediately before a closing quotation mark, and each
space-hyphen-space into an em dash. Changed some font sizes,
making them slightly larger and more uniform throughout the
document.
