Dedication
As I look back on my career, the person who was pivotal to the direction my life
took is Sheryl Bills Heckler, who hired me as a cub reporter for The Cincinnati
Enquirer and then moved me to Washington to work at USA Today. This book is
dedicated to Sheryl, with my lifelong thanks for the faith she showed in my work
and me.
