Is this even by Asimov? It's hard to imagine him making such a mistake.
"President, Jamar A. Martin" added the first paragraph. This is more clear in the actual .doc. Some short phrases can be matched up in Google's indexed version of the publication of the essay.

The mistake was added by someone else in the foreword. The essay is genuine - I originally saw it in a vintage dead-tree collection.
