> Dear Jane and all

I have my personal paperback copy here and find on p 333 in his  
Acknowledgements that he gives special thanks to Viking Penguin editor  
"for patiently heeding
> [their] multiple requests to change the hardcover subtitle verson of  
> "One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations... to the  
> present Penquin paperback subtitle "One Man's mission to Promote  
> Peace...".  I hope this helps.
