ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Sometimes even though you know you must do something, the best of intentions never come to fruition without the help and encouragement of others. I had the assistance of more people than I can mention here, some of whom must remain anonymous to keep their jobs. My thanks to all who helped me. I especially wish to thank Sabra Chartrand, New York Times reporter, for her assistance in writing this book, Patricia Lande Grader and the other folks at Avon Books who worked to make this book a reality, and Suzanne Gluck, at International Creative Management, my excellent agent.
Of course this book would not have been possible without my six years
