work that was influential along the way include the writings of
Howard Winant, Robert Entman, and Christopher Campbell.

Jeanne Heider, my best friend, my wife, and partner read innu-
merable drafts and provided the eye of a good copy editor. As well,
she tolerated all the time away and work that went into gathering
research material. She at times encouraged, threatened, and ca-
joled me into finishing and meeting deadlines.

This research also would not have been possible without aid from
the East-West Center, CU honors students who worked with me
transcribing interviews, journalists who welcomed me into their
newsrooms, and community leaders who were willing to take the
time to offer their views.
