This happens because you have only one space after the period that
ends the sentence.  So Emacs thinks the two words surrounding the
period should not be separated, as in "J. R. R. Tolkien".  In other
words, by default Emacs doesn't think a period ends a sentence unless
there are two spaces after the period.
