Page ix Acknowledgments Over the years, I have benefited from the intelligent, sensitive criticism and encouragement of many people. It is difficult exaggerate the importance of their contributions to my work, and harder still to express my gratitude to them. Gerald Early read the manuscript and shepherded it and me over shaky ground. Michel Fabre read and advised on the Wright sections of the study. Rick Griffiths, a friend indeed, read, edited, added, posed nagging questions, and offered fresh insights. Michael North's work and criticism forced me to write a more rigorous version of the study. Julia Wright commented on and greatly improved the sections on her father's work. Many thanks to Carla Cappetti, Eddy Harris, Josef Jarab, and Eric Sundquist for wise instruction along the way. I have been blessed with family and friends, all compassionate, smart, and very funny people, whose love and care helped me to write this book. A mahalo nui loa to Rutha, Mimi, George, Bonnie, Mark, Michael, Julie, Jenny, Larry, Nicolas, and Alex. I am very grateful to Funso Afolyan; Edna Arbuckle; Stephanie Borns-Weil; Laurie Fleischman; Valerie Graud; Shafi Goldwasser; Janice Grossman; Francesca, Gordon, and Carlotta Lepingwell; Erin Mackie; Vicki Missien; Lisa Wenska Phee; Michle Valencia; and Rafia Zafar.
