Special thanks are extended to friends from Evanston, particularly Professor Donley Feddersen and Dr. Martin Maloney, who offered extensive commentary while maintaining a supportive friendship. Additionally, Dr. Walter Scott's observations on Chapter 4 were particularly beneficial. The author expresses deep gratitude to Mr. Homer Heck, Program Manager of NBC's Central Division, for his thorough review of the manuscript, which proved essential.
