Thanks for catching that. I should have said 6:3. (Although 12 years 
ago, while doing a stint as Contributing Editor to the PTJ, I replied 
to the same point with the remark that if Ronald Reagan's Dept. of 
HEW could call ketchup in public school cafeterias a vegetable, I 
could call the 3:1 an octave.)
