Nature Doesn't Cheat - People Do.

Magicians Are The Most Honest People In The World; They Tell You They're Gonna Fool You, And Then They Do It.

There Was A Small Boy On Crutches. I Do Not Know His Name, And I Suspect I Never Will. But I Will Never Forget His Face, His Smile, His Sorrow. He Is One Of The Millions Robbed Of Hope And Dignity By Charlatans Discussed In This Book.

I Humbly Dedicate This Book To Him And To The Many Others Who Have Suffered Because The Rest Of Us Began Caring Too Late.

... We In The Usa Have Been Depending On Prayers, Pleading, And Self-abasement To A Deity To Bring Us Magical Advantages, And Have Been Encouraged To Attribute Our Prosperity And General Success Among Nations, To That Sort Of Action.

And, To Me, Science Describes A World Far More Interesting Than Any Psychic Fantasy. It's A Good World -- Not Perfect -- But It's Ours. So We'd Better Learn To Live With It, The Way It Is.
