ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We wish to express our gratitude to Tracy Bernstein at New American Library for her enthusiastic support and endless patience. A great deal of expert assistance was provided by Edward L. Helmich of Ryan Library’s Interlibrary Loan Program at Iona College.

Four people from the four corners of the world generously helped us to locate writers and copyright holders: Mary Jay, Kelly Norwood-Young, Irene Staunton, and Annari van der Merwe.
