| while I was a visiting research scholar at the center. He uncovered much new and important primary material for me. Chalmers Johnson generously made Frank's invaluable research services available for the year, and I am grateful to both of them. |
| While this book was in various stages of development I benefited from comments and suggestions made by Gordon Bennett, William Hamovitch, Joyce Kallgren, Jim Nickum, Carl Riskin, Bill Snead, and Anne Thurston who read parts or all of an earlier draft. Their support, individually and collectively, was of great value to me. |
| My research trip to Hong Kong during the winter of 1970 was financed in a major way by a grant in aid from the Graduate School of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. I appreciate the support that Dean Herbert Weisinger gave to this venture. |
| Over the course of the years while this book was in process I enjoyed the use of materials from libraries of the following institutions: State University of New York at Stony Brook; University of California, Berkeley; the Hoover Institution, Palo Alto, Calif.; Columbia University (University Library as well as East Asian Institute Library), and the Universities Service Centre, Kowloon, Hong Kong. |
| While I was in Hong Kong I was assisted in a variety of ways by Eric Axilrod, L.F. Goodstadt, William Hsu, Talbot Huey, Stanley Karnow, Liu Doo Sung, Colina MacDougall, Guy Searls, and D.R.A. Spankie. I am grateful to them as well as to others who helped to make my stay in Hong Kong productive. |
| My recent visit to the People's Republic of China afforded me an opportunity to check on some of the information in this book. I am indebted to Ward Morehouse, Director of the Center for International Programs and Comparative Studies of the New York State Education Department, leader of our study group, and Jack Chen, formerly consultant to the Center, for this valuable opportunity. I also benefited from the observations and analyses of the other ten members of the group. |
| The typing and processing of a book easily becomes a source of frustration, irritation, and annoyance. The fact that such feelings have been at an absolute minimum is testimony to the cooly capable and devoted way in which Betty Hill, my secretary, has steered the book through its various stages. For her such performance is routine. For my good fortune and her wonderful assistance I am deeply thankful. |
