I
am deeply grateful for the support of my familyâespecially my husband, Anthony Flint, and my parents, John and Gloria Cassidyâthe glue that kept it all together. To my agent, Richard Abate; my editor, Claire Wachtel; and my researcher, Anne Baker, thank you for your dedication at every step of the way. Many people interviewed for this book were generous with their time, and their recollections helped this story come alive; I truly appreciate your contributions. And finally, the archives and helpful staff at the Municipal Art Society and the John F. Kennedy Library were invaluable resources. I thank you all.
