ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Although their names appear seldom, if at all, in this work, I have counted upon Arthur J. Vidich, Stanford M. Lyman, Jeffrey C. Goldfarb, and the late Benjamin Nelson for inspiration, encouragement, and good sociological sense. Their contribution goes well beyond that which can be acknowledged in footnotes. Any errors of omission, commission, or interpretation are mine alone.
This work is dedicated to Kati Bors Mandelker and the rest of my family for their loving support and patience.
