Acknowledgments First I want to express appreciation to my wife Pat for her constant encouragement, inspiration, enthusiasm, bright ideas, her innate quality, and most of all—her love. I also thank my gloriously iconoclastic daughter. Amy, for her energy, her faster-than-light proofreading, and her ability to spur my conscientiousness. Certainly I owe thanks to Jan Parker for helping me put this book together in the first place, to Nathan Privitt for his painstaking profes- sionalism, and to Michael Paul Lavin for his endless infor- mation. I single out Mark Steisel for shepherding the book all the way from the inside of my head to your hands. Without question, acknowledgments are due to Michael Larsen and Elizabeth Pomada, who optimistically knew exactly what to do with the book once it was written. And finally, I wish to communicate publicly the gratitude I vu viii : Acknowledgments feel toward Donald Hutter, Executive Editor at Holt, Rinehart and Winston, who showed me the difference be- tween a writer and an author. To all the people listed above, and to the people who showed by example how to earn money without a job—thank you and bless you. -J.C.L.
