initially capitalize nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; |
47 |
|
do not capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, and prepositions |
48 |
|
(unless the title begins with such a word). Initially capitalize only |
49 |
|
the first word in first-, second-, and third-order headings. Leave two |

|
photographs may fit across both columns, if necessary. Your artwork must |

be in place in the article. If you are printing a hard copy, use rubber |
71 |
|
cement to affix the artwork in place. |

Although halftones can be shot from color prints, black and white |
74 |

photos are preferable. Please supply the best quality photographs and |

the originals provided. |
