When the following is run: s='the Los Angeles Symphony'; s.capitalize(); it displays 'The los angeles symphony' instead of 'The Los Angeles Symphony' the str.capitalize() should only deal with the first letter, not lower-case the rest of the letters. The manual correctly describes this, but the actual behavior is not consistent with this description.

S.capitalize() -> string Return a copy of the string S with only its first character capitalized. You've misunderstood the docs, only the first character is indeed capitalized. You want string.capwords instead
