Acknowledgments
Special thanks concerning this book must be given to Ed
Knappman, who thought of the idea and made it work; to
Howie Langer, who thought of me; to Joe Reilly; to James
Chambers. And of course to my wife, Maria-Luise, whose
encouragement, researching, editing and constant checking of
facts often passed what should have been the limits of
endurance.
