We are pub- lishing this series in response to suggestions from our readers, who want more coverage of more people in BiographyToday.Several volumes, covering Art- ists, Authors, Performing Artists, Scientists and Inventors, Sports Figures, and World Leaders, have appeared thus far in the Subject Series. Each of these hardcover volumes is 200 pages in length and covers approximately 10 individuals of interest to readers ages 9 and above. The length and format of the entries are like those found in the regular issues of BiographyToday,but there is no duplication between the regular series and the special subject vol- umes. The Plan of the Work As with the regular issues of BiographyToday,this special subject volume on Sports was especially created to appeal to young readers in a format they can enjoy reading and readily understand. Each volume contains alphabeti- cally arranged sketches. Each entry provides at least one picture of the indi- vidual profiled, and bold-faced rubrics lead the reader to information on birth, youth, early memories, education, first jobs, marriage and family, ca- reer highlights, memorable experiences, hobbies, and honors and awards. Each of the entries ends with a list of easily accessible sources designed to lead the student to further reading on the individual and a current address. Obituary entries are also included, written to provide a perspective on the in- dividual's entire career. Obituaries are clearly marked in both the table of contents and at the beginning of the entry. Biographies are prepared by Omnigraphics editors after extensive research, utilizing the most current materials available. Those sources that are general- ly available to students appear in the list of further reading at the end of the sketch. Indexes A new index now appears in all BiographyTodaypublications. In an effort to make the index easier to use, we have combined the Name and General Index into one, called the Cumulative Index. This new index contains the names of all individuals who have appeared in BiographyTodaysince the se- ries began. The names appear in bold faced type, followed by the issue in 5 which they appeared. The Cumulative Index also contains the occupations,
