of the manuscript. I am very grateful for their suggestions and criti-
cisms, not to mention their friendship.

Several people assisted me without necessarily knowing it. An unre-
lated comment by Professor Jack Costello, SJ, sharpened my conviction
and largely set the tone for this writing. Professor Stephen Dunn, OP,
helped me move up the very slippery ethics learning curve. And Ric
Young, in his enthusiasm for this book, has been nudging me to
completion by preselling it for months.

One person has known the why wrapped in the how inside the
what I was doing. A very special thank you to my wife, Lucinda Vardey.
