Personal Acknowledgments
This book has been, in many respects, an ensemble effort. Heartfelt acknowledgments are therefore due
to all
who assisted and supported
me
in so
many ways. For editorial
labors above and beyond
the
usual
call of duty, John McManus, Tom Gow, and Gary Benoit have my highest regard.
For
research
assistance
in
many
areas,
I
am
especially
indebted
to Tom
Gow,
Donna
Glunn,
Tom
Eddlem, and John McManus. Myril Creer, Gary Benoit, Bernadine Smith, Dennis Cuddy, Patrick
Mahoney, Steve Dapra, and Dave Chance also contributed valuable research aid.
When I was beset with computer problems, John Burns, Dave Wright and Larry Solesbee came to my
rescue
and
helped
me
avert
some major
disasters.
For
providing
excellent
typing
service
under
trying
circumstances I
will always be beholden to Sarah Foster, Christine Schuemperli,
Dave
Burns and
Trina
Solesbee.
For extraordinary efforts
to
help
me with
facilities to work on the manuscript while I was traveling on a
speaking tour, I owe particular thanks to Dan and Tara McBride, Mark Walsh, and Herb and Janice
Hartman. Agustina Farris, Kris Solesbee, Irma Blecker, Leticia Saucedo, Lois Conkle, Don
Fotheringham, David Bohon, Scott Alberts,
Steve
DuBord,
and
David Martin
also
deserve
special
mention for their efforts which made completion of this volume possible.
For
both
inspiration
and
for
the
work
they
did
in
plowing
the ground
before
me,
acknowledgment
is
respectfully due to Robert Welch, V. Orval Watts, Frank Chodorov, John T. Flynn, Frank Holman, G.
Edward Griffin, Robert W. Lee, Hilaire du Berrier, and many others. Above all, for herculean efforts in
all aspects and stages of the production of this volume, for many sleepless nights and marathon editing
sessions, Tom Gow will always have my .
Lastly, to my wife Carmen and my sons Jonathan and Christopher, who were widowed and orphaned the
greater part of 1992, during my travels and periods of seclusion for writing, I am especially indebted for
love, encouragement, and understanding.
