ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This project would not have been possible without the help of many colleagues. The Kaiser Family Foundation was instrumental in the development of the AIDS Litigation Project, in both funding and intellectual support. Mark Smith nurtured and helped develop the project; Jeff Stryker helped in the project’s conceptualization and dissemination; and Bev Wright assisted us in numerous aspects.

The authors would especially like to thank the following students for their research assistance: Charles Whipple, Nancy Park, Deirdre Kamber, and K. Michele Bradshaw.
