the .b requests should of course be .br (I have the misfortune of sometimes
using DEC Runoff, a terrible program, and sometimes I get confused).
This partially corrects the problem ... to wit:

course                             An instruction ...
following
instruction

now the left column looks good, but the distance between the left and right
hand columns is unchanged ...
