Getting It Right
Page 28
As always, I have relied on friends and family. My sisters Priscilla and Jane. My son Christopher, a critical reader, said about the manuscript almost word for word what I routinely say about his work, and him. Professors Thomas Wendel and Chester Wolford, old counselors, were generous, acute, and encouraging. My special thanks to author Sam Tanenhaus, whose enthusiasm for this book gave it great wings. And, of course, Samuel S. Vaughan, whom I hail again as my patient and talented editor.
In returning to Regnery, my first publisher, I take leave (of absence?) from Andre Bernard, who has so beautifully published, on behalf of Harcourt, several of my books. Alfred Regnery is the son of the late, immortal Henry Regnery, among whose lesser accomplishments was the publication of my first book, God and Man at Yale. Jed Donahue, Regnery editor, did a superb and comprehensive copyediting of the manuscript, ably assisted by Regnery’s frequent book editor, Patricia Buckley Bozell.
