Steve Danver, Craig Hunt, Julie Dunbar, Alisha Martinez, and Alex Mikaberidze of ABC-CLIO have been con- summate professionals in guiding me through company publishing practices and pro- cedures. I received valuable research assistance from various research individuals in this process including Sharon Kelly of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Barbara Risser of the Pentagon Library, and the presidential Office of Science and Technology Policy. I am particularly fortunate to work at Purdue University Libraries, which encourages its library faculty to achieve scholarly excellence, and I am grateful to God for the profes- sional and personal opportunities He has given me. Finally, I am grateful to my wife Becky who encourages me to reach for the heavens while keeping me firmly grounded. ix www.abc-clio.com ABC-CLIO 1-800-368-6868
