ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
For information, advice, and much else, I owe thanks to
Karen Anderson (as always), Victor Fernandez-Davila, editor
Robert Gleason, the late Kenneth Gray, G. David Nordley,
and Aharon Sheer. Special thanks are due Robert L. Forward
and Sidney Coleman. The idea of a nuclear "time machine"
is the former's. An idea of the latter's suggested the concept
behind the zero-zero drive to me; he kindly sent me a copy
of his paper, but it turns out that my speculation is quite
unlike his real-science thought and may even contradict it.
