Thanks to my wife, Kathleen, for encouragement, tolerating my sequestering away for endless hours writing and revising, and for reading drafts. Thanks to editors Felicia Sullivan and Patricia Waldygo for catching flaws I couldn’t see and contributions and teaching me those things about writing and grammar that I didn’t learn in school.
