Many other people--both Duke supporters and Duke opponents--gave
hours of their time to discuss Duke's later political elections and their role in
them. For the section on the District 81 race, I'd like to thank: Neil Curran,
Sandy Emerson, John Treen, Jim Donelon, Ed Renwick, Donna Randall,
Debbie Thomas, Roger Villere, Bobby Savoie, and Delton Charles.

For the chapter on the Senate race: Bob Mann, Hal Kilshaw, Jim Oakes,
Billy Hankins, Thomas Cochran, Rusty Cantelli, Geoff Garin, Billy Nun-
gesser, and J. Bennett Johnston, Jr.

For the chapter on the governor's race: Al Donovan, Billy Broadhurst, Bob
d'Hemecourt, Billy Rimes, P. J. Mills, Sam Dawson, Gordon Hensley, Ray-
mond Strother, Steve Lombardo, Buddy Roemer, Edwin Edwards, David
Treen, Caroline Roemer, Harry Lee, Pres Kabacoff, Darryl Berger, Moise
Steeg, Jr., David Dixon, Henry Dillon III, Deno Seder, David Touchstone,
Mark Heller, Jim Nickel, Donald Spector, and Norman Robinson.

For the chapter on Duke's presidential campaign: Jewel Tardiff, Marc Ellis,
Frank Luntz, Charles Black, Carole DiFalco, Colette Rhoney, Mary Matahn,
and James Carville. Peter Brown, chief political reporter for Scripps Howard,
and Robert Shogan, a correspondent with the Los Angeles Times, helped me
understand Duke in a national political context.

Many others provided immeasurable assistance but on condition of ano-
nymity, so I thank them while continuing to respect their wishes.

I'd also like to thank the many librarians who helped out: Nancy Burris,
Danny Gamble, Karen Cooksey and Amy Wahl at the Times-Picayune; Bill
Menary, archivist at the Political Ephemera Collection at Tulane University's
Howard-Tilton Memorial Library; Andy Simons, archivist at Tulane's Amis-
tad Research Center; and Ken Owen, archivist at the University of New
Orleans Earl K. Long Library Louisiana Collection. I'd also like to thank those
who read drafts of my manuscript and improved it immensely: Jed Home,
Rick Meyer, Tina Rosenberg, C. B. Forgotston, Lanny Keller, Betsy Mullener
and Adam Nossiter. Thanks to John Donahue for proofing the manuscript
and to Kurt Mutchler and Doug Parker with photographs.

This book was supported by a grant from the Louisiana Endowment for
the Humanities. Thanks to Michael Sartisky, the endowment's executive di-
rector, for his help in securing the grant.

Thanks to Richard Abel and Seetha Srinivasan of the University Press of
Mississippi for making this project see the light of day. Shelly Bell provided
needed understanding and humor that sustained me.
