For someone so deeply into typography, they sure seem to have trouble distinguishing a single open quote (‘) from a grave accent (`).

In LaTeX, the open quote is denoted by a grave accent and the close quote is denoted by the apostrophe. Look back at the article and you'll find that the author consistently uses these characters in this manner. Why they didn't get processed to the proper Unicode characters, however, is beyond me.

Thesis does read very nicely and the quotes (see example in references) are converted to expected double quote pair.
