PREFACE
The aim ofthegreatly expanded Current Biography Yearbook 1986, like thatofthe preceding
volumesinthisseriesofannualdictionariesofcontemporarybiography,nowinitsfifthdecade
of publication, is to provide the reference librarian, the student, or any researcher with brief,
objective, accurate,andwell-documentedbiographicalarticlesaboutlivingleadersinallfields
ofhuman accomplishmenttheworldover. Wheneverfeasible, obituarynoticesappearforper-
sonswhosebiographieshavebeen publishedinCurrentBiography, andeveryattemptismade
to pick up obituaries that have inadvertently been omitted in previousyears.
CurrentBiographyYearbook1986carriesonthepolicyofincludingnewandupdatedbiograph-
ical sketches that supersede or update earlier, outdated articles. Sketcheshave been made as
accurate and objective as possible through careful researching by Current Biography writers
in newspapers, magazines, authoritative reference books, and news releases of both govern-
mentand privateagencies. Immediatelyaftertheyare published in the eleven monthlyissues,
articlesaresubmittedto biographeestogivethem an opportunitytosuggestcorrectionsin time
for publication of the Current Biography Yearbook. To take account of major changes in the
careers ofbiographees, sketches have also been revised before they are included in the year-
book. With the exception of occasional interviews, the questionnaire filled out by the bio-
graphee remains the primary source of direct information.
