     It would be easier for all concerned, obviously, if Dale just sent 
     those quoted two copies of the book now, with a note thanking them for 
     their participation.

They wouldn't, because I have scrupulously followed the accepted rules of 
fair use just as you have pretty much outlined in the first paragraph. If it 
does turn out that I have somehow inadvertently infringed someone's 
copyright, what would he or she "win" after his or her legal battle? None of 
the material I quoted has any commercial value on its own. Do you go to 
court for a symbolic award of $25?
