ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My life has been graced by a steady stream of extraordi- nary souls in ordinary clothes. Take my wife Leti and our son Jonah, for instance. The privilege of sauntering through life arm-in*arm with those two buckaroos is a gift like no other, To them and to whoever arranged it, I owe a \"thanks\" way too big for the word. And there s my friend and assistant Mary ]urin Sonkin. I appreciate the way Mary takes my work seriously and me with a grain of salt. It s a hard line to walk sometimes. And thanks to m.y fleet-footed, eagle-eyed friend Phil Eagleton. He ran roughshod over my rough draft, and while he was hard on my work, he was gracious to my ego. This is a clearer work because of the editorial suggestions of Daniel Bial at Harper & Row, and I am indebted to Dan. Thanks, too, to Irv Levey for his straight Ia|k and encouragement early on in this project. To Novle Rogers, whose illustrations embellish this work, I offer a West Texas, buddy-to-buddy sock on the arm. His art s got heart. And Harry Clemens also has my appreciation. He s not much at racquetball but he s a prince of a te]la. Chapter I makes clear his contribution to the happening you le holding. I ve had some splendid teachers and want to thank ~t legist a lew of them here. First arid foremost is Maharaji. }~i:~ efb;cl on me seems boundless and ] feel a deep love ix
