work like this can testify that whatever virtueshe or she possess as reader and writer never preclude having fun and,furthermore,thatbad habits or neutral conduct—such as watching television,solving crosswords,talk-ing with Bavarian tour-guides,or staring out the window—can have their practical usestoo,the results of which show up throughout the Handbook.  \nAccordingly,I feel a kind of gratitude to those experiences and to that kind of expe-rience in general,and the stigma of guilty pleasures may abate somewhat.It may alsohelp to remain fond of out-of-the-way works and writers of the sort that lead one totwiner;hypermonosyllable,sequelula,and similar curiosities.Who knows?One dayhomologumena,from a recent crossword,may come in handy.  \nI am happy to record here my more specific gratitude for all sorts of help to MelissaBirkhofer,Alexander Doyne,Sally Harman,Elizabeth Harmon,Brandon Jernigan,Andreas Lenek,Ajay Shah,and Robert West.To Vivian Garcia of Prentice Hall I owemuch for kindnesses beyond tallying.I wish to thank the following reviewers for theirinvaluable feedback:Peter M.McCluskey,Middle Tennessee State
