David Weaver--the administration, my colleagues, the support
staff (especially Carole Oberin, Saul Strobel, and Carol Shuler),
and the reference librarians all supported my work with great
patience and dedication. They observed my highs and lows with
enormous understanding and sympathy.

One of the first to hire me as an attorney, Thomas E. Joyce,
J.D., of Chicago, sent me a remarkable book by Michael Farrell,
entitled Sheltering the Fugitive? ( 1985); it gave me great insight
into extradition policy in the United States.

Also, an employee of the Immigration and Naturalization
Service, Chris Davidson, gave enormous help in sending me
vital portions of data on immigration matters not only for this
project, but for others.

Of course, I would not have endeavored upon this work if not
motivated by love for humanity. To a great extent, I owe this to
my family: Helen Maria Yarnold, my mother; Irena Maria Suszko,
my aunt; Susan Maria Yarnold, my sister; and my brothers
Paul Richard Yarnold, Ph.D., Charles Nicholas Yarnold, James
Alexander Yarnold, and the ever-endearing baby of the family,
Jack Christopher Yarnold.

Also, I dedicate this book to the memory of my deceased father,
James Knapps Yarnold, Ph.D.--a dedicated father and scholar--
and to my deceased grandparents, especially Stanislawa and
Micolaj Suszko, who labored intensely so that their grandchildren
might have a glimpse of hope.
