Julia Child_ A Life - Laura Shapiro [73]
to Fern Berman, who called me one day with a really good idea for a book. In the course of the research that followed, I received generous help from Marilyn Mellowes, Stephanie Hersh, Joan Reardon, Clark Wolf, Patty Unterman, Linda McJannet, Rebecca Alssid, Fran Carpentier, Judith Jones, and Ken Schneider, and librarians at the Boston Public Library and the Smithsonian Institution. As always, the staff at the Schlesinger Library supported my research with assistance that was not only efficient but constantly enlightening.
