And when you go back to fix this, change "blacks" to "blacks'"; "Cuba crisis" to "Cuban missile crisis"; eliminate the word "the" before "psychoanalysis"; "blasphemy" not "blasfemy"; "world's" not "worlds"; "baroque" not "baraque"; "separated" not "seperated"; "prominent" not "prominant"; "enlightenment" not "enlightment"; "Swiss" not "Swizz"; "considered" not "concidered"; "separation" not "seperation"; and "radiation" not "raditation."
