To Mom and Dad Who made it all possible. And to Lisa, Steven, John and Mary, Who make it all worthwhile.

Acknowledgments No book is the product of one person. Even when the author writes the book alone, there are always scores of people upon whom the author must rely in order to take the book from pipe dream to finished product. The danger in trying to thank those people is that inevitably some people who ought to be thanked are accidentally omitted. I apologize in advance to those who will fall into that category. Your omission was wholly unintentional. The words and thoughts in this book are mine. Likewise, I must claim all of the mistakes. With all of the caveats safely in the record, I would like to express my deep gratitude: To Lisa, whose unwavering support and countless sacrifices made this book possible. It's easy to write a book about doing the right thing when you're married to someone for whom doing the right thing is a way of life. And to our children, Steven, John and Mary, for being a daily source of joy and a constant inspiration to strive for a better future. To Donnie, for being the best brother, friend and adviser anyone could ever hope to have, and for undertaking the thankless task of reading the first draft of this book. If everyone in the world was like Donnie, the lawyers would be out of business. To my sisters, Jane and Linda, for the love and laughter they bring to our lives. And to the memory of my brother, Michael, whose life was a testament to the power of love and the things which can be achieved through sheer courage and determination.

To the memory of my parents, for teaching us the importance of love, laughter and perseverance. Nobody was ever raised righter. To Bill Thompson, for twenty years of friendship, for slogging through an early draft of this book and for helping me to make it less "lawyerly" (i.e., boring). To everyone at Love and Willingham for their support during the writing of this book. To Daryll Love, who is the kind of lawyer all good lawyers would like to be. To John Gilleland, Allen Willingham, Hezekiah Sistrunk and Bob Monyak, my cohorts from the old days at the big firm. To Kim Woodland and Jane Sams, for enduring our political "discussions." To Mike Hannan for sharing the frustration of being a Braves fan. To Traci Green Courville, for graciously enduring a vociferous next door neighbor. To the staff, for their patience, assistance and friendship. And especially to Jackie Eaton, for typing the first draft of this book. To Tricia Molloy, for her enthusiasm and creativity in publicizing this enterprise. To Jim Walsh, Cynthia Chaillie and the team at Merritt Publishing, for their support and guidance. To the loose confederation of Pass Christian boon companionsespecially Cle Dade, Jim Harrison, Devan Ard, Cleave Ham, Bruce Frankenberg, Jeff Gould, John Boyle, and Bobby Boriesand the Atlanta contingentMark Riley, Tom Harper, Bob Berg, Chip Ingraham, and Jerry de Golianfor helping me keep life its own self in perspective. And to all of the lawyers, for inspiring me (in one way or another) to write this book. Ken Menendez Atlanta, Georgia March 1, 1996
