  This is a work of fiction. All incidents and dialogue, and all characters with
  the exception of some well-known historical and public figures, are products
  of the author’s imagination and are not to be construed as real. Where real-
  life historical or public figures appear, the situations, incidents, and
  dialogues concerning those persons are fictional and are not intended to
  depict actual events or to change the fictional nature of the work. In all
  other respects, any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely
  coincidental.
