The Burden of Proof (80 page)

"We must manage these burdens together," he told her. "I am able to help."

I have been fortunate to draw on the specialized knowledge of many friends in writing this book. Dr. John Weiss provided invaluable advice about medical matters, as did Dr. Robert Stein, the Cook County Medical Examiner, and my father, Dr. David Turow. I am grateful to Nadya Walsh for sharing her recollections of Argentina and to Steve Senderowitz for discussingwith me various questions of commodities law.

My partners Jim Ferguson and Tom Opferman were of great help on other legal points.

I also should note that Gabriel Turow is the author of most of the good lines in Chapter 29.

Finally, to my friends on the commodity futures exchanges, particularly Frank and Brian Gelber of Gelber Group Inc., I am especially indebted.

The aid of these persons undoubtedly prevented many factual errors. Any that remain are solely my responsibility.
