I wish to thank Jim Feather, publisher of this work, for his encouragement. Marshall Cohen, series editor, has given his support from the start, for which I thank him. Several of my friends, especially Jim Chesher, helped with the selec- tions and editing. I am sorry for having had to exclude some very fine pieces. Finally, I want to thank the Reason Foundation and members of the 1980 Summer Seminar program of the Liberty Fund, Inc., for their support. Ed Regis, Jr., especially, deserves thanks for his good advice. May 1981 Santa Barbara, CA -viii- |
