Hi, Nestor. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried "\part{\hspace{1em}Foundations}," but I didn't quite like the alignment.

Thanks, Themis. I didn't like that way that looked in the TOC because the alignment of the other items looked off to me. (A subjective call, I know. By the way, in a separate message, someone also pointed me to
<http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39971/adjusting-spaces-for-the-toc>
but that resulted in pretty much the same.) However, your suggestion helped me google the following
<http://hstuart.dk/2007/05/26/styling-the-table-of-contents/>
that gave me the idea to try
\renewcommand{\cftpartpresnum}{\partname\ }
\renewcommand{\cftpartaftersnumb}{\hspace{3em}}
This seems to be acceptable. What do you think?
Thank you both, Nestor and Themis, very much for your suggestions. They were very helpful.
