Page vii Acknowledgments Citing individuals and groups that have been influential in the writing of this book is certainly not to suggest that the work's shortcomings can be attributed to anyone but me. Rather, such is merely an acknowledgment of the debt I owe to so many. Without the input and encouragement of those cited below, this book would never have seen the light of day. While not meaning to list a rank order of contributors, I do need to cite first Robert Linder, who served as my "critic and guide" while I was working on a Ph.D. degree at Kansas State University. Kansas Bob was my major professor throughout my doctoral program, which included the period when I first began research on Norris. While there are certainly universities whose names carry more prestige, I am convinced there is no place where I could have received better scholarly training than in the history department at K-State under Bob Linder. (He also plays a mean second base.) Before entering doctoral work I was helped along considerably at Baylor University, especially by James Wood, director of the J.M. Dawson Institute of Church-State Studies, where I did my masters degree work. As an undergraduate I had been what is called, euphemistically, a student-athlete, usually more the latter than the former, and it was in my master's work that I first aspired to high academic achievement. During my studies under Professor Wood I saw for the first time how a true scholar works and lives. It was also at Baylor, in a seminar with Rufus Spain, that I began to learn the difference between everyday writing and scholarly writing. In the past decade Rufus has been a mentor-friend to me, and according to what I am told at Louisiana College, he writes good recommendation letters. Some of my former colleagues have been so blunt as to suggest that without his letter in 1990, I would never have gotten my first college position.
