Many people have contributed to this book with their energy, ideas, and patience and I have to thank my family and friends for their help, especially my parents; Kevin D. Murphy and Mary Anne Caton; Patrick Ambrose, who provided many important insights and also assisted in research; Deirdre Murphy, Esq., without whom this book would not have happened; Kathy Iwasaki, who saved the book at a critical stage; and Michael Flamini, my editor. I would also like to thank the West Village Committee, which in addition to saving the West Village from development, operates a used bookstore where I found bushels of treasures. Above all I have to thank Alessandra de Rosa, who enjoyed and endured this project over several years.
