I appreciate their careful criticism of my work and take sole responsibility for any remaining flaws. I also would like to thank Yvette Rollins and Derek Vint for taking care of the administrative details which confounded my already overtaxed brain. Most importantly, I would like to thank Eleanor Leach for her constant guidance and her unswerving faith in me, even when my own self-confidence was being challenged. On a more personal level, I must acknowledge the friends and family who have kept me sane this past year, even though I had all but abandoned them for the sake of my work—to my parents, who have never told me that there was anything I could not do; to my grandmother, who has always stood behind me, no matter how blindly I charged into things; to Kris, who has never failed to remind me that life is meant to be lived—and all the others who have been there for me.
