3There are two ways to write a book: show it to nobody or show it to everybody. This book has greatly benefited from the latter course and I am indebted in varying degrees to June, Jarratt, Ashton, Maria, and Anthony Applewhite; Lawrence M. Connell; Isobel and John Fistere; Anne Hewlett Fuller; Susan Griggs; Mary Anne Kenner; Arthur L. Loeb; Eugene Milligan; Frances and John G. Shaffer; Ken Shaw; William M. Wainwright; Nancy Z. Walworth; and Louise Applewhite Watson.

4 At Macmillan, I am in particular debt to Michael Denneny, an editor’s editor; his assistant, Beth Rashbaum; and to Maurice Schneps.
