This can be fixed quickly by adding, below the line that
prints the author's name,

  \\*[cov*au!\\n[let*i]!1]

the following lines:

  .nr let*j 0 1
  .while !'\\*[cov*at!\\n[let*i]!\\n+[let*j]]''  \{\
  \\*[cov*at!\\n[let*i]!\\n[let*j]]
  .\}

Since the number of titles for each author is not stored anywhere,
this assumes that an empty value signals the end of the author's
titles, i.e., there can be no empty author's titles (but \& works).


I noticed that the loc-dept-initials/initials line is also different.
Does anyone still use this?  Is it important that this is
historically accurate?
