June,

According to "Evidence!  Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" (the
foregoing should be in italics) by Elizabeth Shown Mills:

"Italics, used in the name of a source, signify that it is a court case OR
publication (book, CD-ROM, fiche, film, journal, or map).  Names of
unpublished works, other than court cases, should not be italicized."

Hope this helps,
Kay Haworth
