Adams, for his superb legal review; Virginia Norey, Brian Mulligan, and Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich, who worked on everything from the jacket to the interior design of the book; Susan Schwartz, publishing manager, and Johanna Tani, chief copy editor, who shepherded the book through the production process; and copy editor Debra Manette, who culled out more errors than I believed were possible. Those that remain are my own.
And finally to my husband, Jim, I owe my deepest gratitude. He has always believed in this book. More than anything else, it was his love and confidence that carried me through the years. He read the manuscript at least four times, offered many invaluable suggestions, and endured years of endless discussion about the people and events described here. It is not an exaggeration to say that without Jim, I might not have completed the journey.
