How To

Dedication

For my wife, Margot. Without her constant love and support,

this book would not have been written.

Acknowledgments

I am indebted to many people for their assistance in preparing

this book. In no particular order, I would like to thank Gordon Janow

with Alpine Ascents International on climbing Mount Everest; Kyle

Steckel with Military Adventures and Greg Claxtom of Incredible

Adventures on flying MiGs; Paul Turner on being a movie extra; Jim

Carlson on jury selection; Amir Aczel of Bentley College on income

tax audits; Anita Walbaum and Ed McClure for IQ Tests and Ques-

tions; Claudia Bourne Farrell with the Federal Trade Commission on

identity theft; Evan Cattanach of Schieffelin & Sommerset and Rich-

ard Paterson, master blender at The Dalmore, on single malt whisky;

Dave Hughes on curing hiccups; Dr. Jack M. Gwaltney at the Univer-

sity of Virginia School of Medicine on avoiding the common cold, and

Mark Johnson on Allocating Your Assets.

I would also like to thank Gary Webb and Bob Soukup for re-

viewing the first draft and, despite their better judgment, foolishly

encouraging me in this endeavor. And thanks, of course, to all the

people at Career Press, especially Mike Lewis, who saw value in my

manuscript. There are surely others I should mention and I regret

their omission.
