*Author's Note: In the interest of full disclosure, be advised these advance reviews emanated from unsolicited comments from acquaintances and friends.  If they are too kind, so be it, I just hope they're accurate.  I can't write about seeking truth, as I do in this book, without being truthful, even though I was a political adviser for 28 years.  Despite that handicap, I am not a politician and believe that everyone should practice what they preach.
