The paper copy? The on-line copy looks fine. In self-defense, the 
articles are not formatted by the submitters - you hand it over in .DOC 
format and the editors tinker with it from there. They may have had some 
problem between that and getting it to the printer. Look at the stuff at 
the SIGAda web site and see if thats any better.
