The Wicked Wine of Democracy: A Memoir of a Political Junkie, 1948-1995

Acknowledgments

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS most of the material in this volume comes from memory. All my remembrances would have been discarded had it not been for an angel editor I met by chance: Marianne Keddington-Lang, then editor of Oregon Historical Society publications. She volunteered to edit my outpourings (which I had privately concluded were unpublishable). Two books emerged—this one, the political memoir, and a forthcoming personal memoir. This book has been a family project. Thank you to my brother Jonathan Miller for his efforts to ensure accuracy in the text and to my daughters, Sue Miller and Nancy Gillen, for their advice and review of the manuscript and the book proofs. I hope you enjoy the result.—jsm xix The Wicked Wine of Democracy ...
