 You are now in the second phase of transforming yourself with the 
 perception-dissociator. Throughout this phase, you must stoop or crouch 
 somewhat. That is, you must keep yourself below the height of your neck 
 when you stand straight---except when you jump over a sight. The symbol is 
-$u\sfrac{3}{4}$. $u\sfrac{3}{4}\wedge$ means that you crouch and close your eyes. Now crouch. 
+$u\sfrac{3}{4}$. $u\sfrac{3}{4}\wedge$ means that you crouch and close your eyes. \emph{Now crouch.}
 
 The numbered instructions for this phase are so similar to those in the 
 preceeding phase that they will be given in symbols only. Changes are noted 
 parenthetically. You may turn back if you forget symbols.
