First bonehead BFA typo

Either someone or some program, in his/her/its infinite wisdom, changed "Office of Net Assessment" on page 6 (referencing Andy Marshall) to "Office of New Assessment."

Boy, there's a nice way to establish your expertise in the opening pages.

I don't have the Uncorrected Proof ini front of me right now, but I'm guessing this screw-up happened after that, because I think I would have caught it there. What I really fear happened is some grammar/spelling program thought "new" made more sense than "net" and made the correction for us.


Alas, in a book this big and with this tight a production schedule, this won't be the last one we find.

Critt, create an errata page on the BFA page and start linking to any entries like this. Might as well compile them for subsequent editions.
