I am not so sure about this.  For example, see Chapter 3's epigraph,
which ends up with a separate line for the last word.  Ditto for the
"Glossary and Bibliography", and Appendix A.

Chapter 16 ends up with a piled-high epigraph, as does Chapter 7.

Of course, the one-column version has similarly compressed epigraphs.

So I am wondering if it might be better to leave the two-column
epigraph width alone and to expand the single-column epigraph width.

Thoughts?
