Line 188 now, third paragraph re Veterans' Health Care. It contains
an acronym; quote:
<acronym title="El Paso Veterans' Affairs Health Care
System">VAHCS</acronym>

The apostraphe after "Veterans" in the title of this acronym is probably
a Microsoft smart quote encoded under Windows 1252 or ISO 8859. It
doesn't fit in unicode.

In the rest of the document quotes have been converted to HTML entities.
This is unnecesary under unicode as characters do exist for these.
