Double.

She, actually.  Leaving out one of the two spaces after the end
of a sentence was no less an error than leaving out the period
or forgetting to capitalize the first word of the next
sentence.

AFAIK, that's the way pretty much everybody was taught to type
back then (1977).

If you're using a word-processor or typesetting system that's
worth its weight in bits, it won't matter how many spaces you
type -- the paragraph layout algorithm will handle it.
