From the publication:

Foreword

David Rubin of New York University hired me to work for the President's 
Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island. As a member of the Public 
Information Task Force, I worked with Holly Chaapel, Ann Marie Cunningham, 
Mary Beth Franklin, Sharon Friedman, Wilma Hill, Nancy Joyce, Roy Popkin, 
Peter Sandman, Patricia Weil and Emily Wells. Their probing, questioning and 
insight made this a story. During those ninety-hour weeks, Emily Wells was my 
sanity.Vital material was provided by Chuck Harvey, Ruth Dicker and Dan Reicher
of the Commission's Office of Chief Counsel. Their efforts give the book much of 
its texture and, I hope, balance. Back in California, a small army of students helped 
me plow through the thousands of pages of documents and notes that were the raw 
material of the book. Sally Marone Baird, Achla Bedi, Laurie Bennett, Brad Glover, 
Joy Murakami, Patricia Rowell and Rosemary Storm were my eyes and, in some 
cases, my brain. Robert Briller, an electrical engineer turned doctor, led me through 
the technical maze of the accident and acted as interface with many experts at the 
Electric Power Research Institute.
Dr. Roland Finston of Stanford's Department of Health Physics and Dr. Rudolph Sher 
of the Department of Mechanical Engineering often set me straight and pointed me to 
just the right experts.
