Quotes cause Author name truncation when editing Reviews. If a Publication contains a Review record and the author of the reviewed book has quotes embedded in his or her name, e.g. E. E. "Doc" Smith (http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?152751), then pulling the Pub record up in Edit Pub results in the loss of all characters in the Author's name to the right of the first quote.

All author records with double quotes in them have been changed to use single quotes. The "Author Edit" screen now gives you an error if you try to enter double quotes in the canonical name. All other screens where Title and Pub Authors can be entered have been changed so that double quotes are automatically converted to single quotes before a submission is created.
