AUTHOR’S NOTE

This book was possible because of the tireless and diligent work of Barbara Feinman, a 1982 graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, who assisted in every step—conducting interviews, locating people and facts, thinking, scrutinizing, writing, editing, organizing, correcting misjudgments and spelling. Her friendship and sense of fairness guided the daily enterprise; the book is as much hers as mine.
