ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We are greatly indebted to Ann Godoff, the former president, publisher, and editor in chief of Random House, who proposed this book. And to Random House vice president Jonathan Karp, for his thoughtful editorial direction and for seeing this work to its completion. Random House associate copy chief Beth Pearson carefully shepherded this book through the production process—as she did with its predecessor: Shrub. Margaret Wimberger provided us the same careful copyediting as she did three years ago for Shrub. Our steadfast agent Dan Green saw that all business matters were properly taken care of, provided us invaluable editorial commentary, and gently and persistently reminded us that books cannot be published unless writers meet deadlines. Closer to home, Betsy Moon was an invaluable researcher and fact-checker. She also held our hands and twisted our arms to ensure that we came close to meeting our deadline. The book could not have been completed without her. University of Texas journalism grad student Elizabeth Esfahani helped with database research. And Aaron Crowell of Campaign for America’s Future generously provided us with a great deal of useful information. Our families—Andy and Carla Ivins, and Jeanne Goka—helped, supported, tolerated, and even indulged us while we worked on this book. Our good and generous friend Charlotte McCann improved this work with her careful proofreading and her sharp editorial suggestions.

Many of the individuals quoted herein gave generously of their time. They had nothing to gain
