The Ford Foundation provided a generous grant in support of the undertaking. Alexander Dallin served as Director of the Project during the first year, the active period of planning and interviewing. Robert L. Fischelis was Executive Officer for the overseas operations of the Project. Andre Varchaver was Executive Officer in the United States. The interviewers, in the United States and in Europe, were: Joseph Altman, Stephen Borsody, Joseph Brunner, Stephen Gorove, Desider Holisher, Peter Horváth, Anthony Jasay, John Kosa, Geza Kuun, Leslie Laszlo, Judith Le Bovit, Marian Low, August J.

Professor Zinner also served, with Professor Dallin and me, on the editorial committee that planned the program of publications. Rainer Koehne was Research Associate, and Jonathan Harris, Elinor Murray, William Safran, Henry Stockhold, Luciana Visentine, Alex Weinstock, and David Winter were Research Assistants in the United States. Eliana Covacich, Florence C. Dallin, Elizabeth Fontana, and Judith Saly guided the secretarial and bookkeeping chores. The late John
