The new APA manual says it should be capitalized if it starts a sentence.  They 
give the example of de Waal:

Correct:
De Waal (1994) concluded the following
Incorrect:
de Waal (1994) concluded the following

Hey, All --

If a proper name like "van de Groot" starts a sentence, do we capitalize the v?

It seems wrong to me (that's a proper name and those words are lower-case 
words), but I can't find an exception to the "First word in a complete 
sentence" rule.

Anyone out there feel authoritative on this?  (In the meantime I'm going to 
have the student change the sentence around...

Thanks in advance!
