Notes
-
Dedication: For Jack who carried a brightly burning torch to the New Land and in memory of George whose unstinting professionalism and great generosity prepared the way. My special thanks go to my wife, Mariann, and son, Patrick, my extraordinary family, whose vitality and resolve got me through the difficulties of assembling this anthology ... and to my co-editor, Margaret, whose clear and precise assessments covered for my own tardiness and inadequacy. Peter McNamara.
