Professor Emmy E. Werner of the University of California, Davis, gave me the benefit of her fascinating research on children's responses to stress. Mrs. R. H. Merrill kindly allowed me to read her sister's lengthy memoir of her childhood on the Kansas plains. Teresa Garrity cheerfully typed much of the manuscript and did brave battle with the gremlins in the departmental word processor. To all these, I give my thanks.
