Acknowledgments
Writing a book and seeing it through publication is a humbling experience, for it is only then that the author fully realizes how indebted she is to others for their expertise, assistance, and moral support. This has been just such an experience and the thanks are many.
My indebtedness begins with the original committee that oversaw the writing of my doctoral dissertation at the State University of New York at Buffalo. In the acknowledgment to that manuscript, I expressed my appreciation to Selig Adler, Milton Plesur, and David Gerber for their guidance, advice, and support. As the present study began with that original work, I thank them again. In the intervening years, the committee chairman, Professor Adler, passed away. With him went an invaluable source of inspiration and encouragement. Both his red pen and his kind words have been sorely missed.
