Довольно много людей любезно согласились дать интервью, которые сыграли существенную роль в создании этой книги. Я хотел бы выразить признательность всем им за оказанную помощь и проявленное понимание. Никто из них не несет ответственности за толкования и суждения, изложенные в этой книге. Большая часть интервью были даны специально для этой книги. Некоторые из них первоначально предназначались для проектов, предшествоваших книге.
В некоторых случаях читателям могут быть не очень хорошо известны лица, дававшие интервью. Поэтому в большинстве своем, там, где это представлялось уместным, я привел должности этих людей.
