57. Here Mornev mixes up the critical angle which stands for total internal reflection with the Brewster's angle which characterize the reflection of polarized light.

60. Since the EM recovers its properties after being excited, autowave fronts may have free ends inside the media. The evolution of free ends which often results in spiral waves is beyond the scope of this paper.
