I think I have answered my own question after re-reading Don's originsl
cescription, and realizing that Don was showing the full board, not just
one end in his drawings. 

The breadboard end is mitered on only one end!  Don says to glue only the
mitre and the first tenon next to it.  He describes the slots in the tenons
to allow for expansion/contraction of the board. 

Well Duhhhhhhhhh!!
