AcknowledgementsxiiiThe two maps on page 171 were prepared by Dr. Edward Hillsman, Dr.William Eberle, and Mr. Paul Johnson, and were made available to us by Dr.Robert Honea, all of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We thank them all.Our, research was greatly facilitated by Mr. Tom Lutgen and his helpful colleaguesat the Research Library of The Los Angeles Times, and by two devotedresearch assistants who indefatigably tracked down obscure references: Mr.Gabriel Gorenstein near the beginning and Mr. Kenneth A. Anderson near theend. Mr. Anderson’s editorial insights were also most helpful. Our voluminouspaperwork was faithfully handled by the staff of the International Project forSoft Energy Paths: notably Ms. Cissy Wallace, Mr. John Fore, Ms. KatySlichter, and Ms. Elyse Axell. The writing was made possible by two miraculousmachines: one to which Mr. Patrick Heffernan and Dr. Ruthann Corwinhospitably gave us visiting rights after we had lent it to them, and anotherwhich, through the kindness of the Los Angeles Office of Lanier BusinessProducts (especially Mr. Chad Farling), we were later able to rent. Our editor(Nancy Irwin), production manager (Mike Fender), and publisher (JackHowell) also performed their customary wonders in guiding us smoothlythrough the complex process of converting fuzzy thoughts into crisp typography.And for the typography itself we are enduringly grateful for the dedicatedprofessionalism of the staff of DNH Typesetting—especially Ruth Goodman,David Roh, Mary Meltaus, and Don Leamy.Finally, we are indebted beyond words to Mr. Chris Cappy for his frequenthelp, and to Mrs. Farley Hunter Sheldon for her tolerance, professional guidanceand personal support, during the throes of our writing.Amory B.
