In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

289 Notes Preface My newspaper articles cited in this volume may be accessed from microfilm reels maintained by major public and research libraries. For citations to my articles in this volume, I rely on the published version now in my possession. My hard copies of the Christian Science Monitor sent to me in Vietnam were the London, Midwestern, New England, or Western editions. Most of my citations coincide with the headlines and abstracts now used by the Christian Science Monitor for its online, searchable archive, available at http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/csmonitor_historic/advancedsearch.html. In the online “search for” box on the opening page, type in “Beverly Deepe,” which will permit access to most of my articles. That online archive is searchable for free by author, headline, and single or multiple words, but a fee is required to view or print the full article. If the headline in my citation differs substantially from the online version, at the Monitor’s request I have included in brackets the e-version of that headline, based on my search and printout made on July 21, 2009. My articles published in the London Daily Express and London Sunday Express are not archived and retrievable. 1.
