Correction

The August 2000 issue, p. 16 (first column), has a sentence which needs a comma to make it understandable: ” . . .The fourth beast that was dreadful and terrible, had huge iron teeth, and was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling everything that remained was the Roman Empire.” Our apologies. — Ed.
