A Word of Thanks
As usual, I am in the debt of loyal and much-loved friends. One is Edith Tucker, a diversely talented community leader in Wellesley, Massachusetts, who combined an infinity of other duties with the typing and retyping of my drafts and highly pertinent criticism of whatever seemed incomplete or obscure. Ann Livingston shared in the typing, helped on the research and checking, and most adeptly managed and suppressed the annoyances of life so that I could keep my thoughts fairly continuously on the book. Most of all, I am indebted to Andrea Williams, my partner in this effort as in so many before, who, in a just world, would be listed, if not as the fellow author, then as the most talented of editors.
