[DCRM-L] Shares citation but varies from PDF

As I said to Deborah in a side note, I think it helps very much to add (in
this case) the reading of the first line of p. 8 in the
*other*setting--the result in two or, heaven knows, more records is a
set of
reciprocal notes, each of which is sufficient to obviate the need for
inference on the part of the catalog user. Who knows? There might be a
third setting.
