       Dedication

      For daughter Kristin and sons Alan and Jay, and for their

      loved ones – which makes them ours as well

      And for Paul and Jan Harwood,

      Katharine’s remarkable parents

       Epigraph

      It was a decision of conscience in a world where nobody celebrates that. She will go down in history as a hero of the human spirit.

      – SEAN PENN

      We are going to be in a very dangerous situation as a country if people feel they can simply spill out secrets or details of security operations, whether false or true actually, and get away with it.

      – TONY BLAIR
