Acknowledgments
Leanart, Joni, and Andy, for holding my hand behind the Old Curtain, and the crash-course in smuggling. Alex, of course, for holding the other one at all times. Tom and the lads at Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress. So fine a body of men is difficult to find, and a rare pleasure to discover. The FSOs at the United States Embassy,' Budapest, for so graciously handling an unannounced walk-in. And to Michael, Melissa, Gilbert, and CDR Marsha, in anticipation of your superior professionalism.
