Just as without court reporters there would be no record from which scholars and historians might review andÊanalyze past events, without PowerWriters there would be no fitting tribute to those who have crafted the professionÕs foundation. In his latestÊbook, noted author, lecturer, and storied record keeper, Al Betz, chronicles the lives of stenographers and voicewriters who, like the author, have contributed significantly to the art ofÊcourtÊreporting. With each advancing chapter, PowerWriters instructs and inspires, richly detailing the critical role court reporters continue to play in our nationÕs history and beyond. Written by one who for more than four decades has embodied the finest qualities of those individuals to whom he pays tribute, Mr. BetzÕs workÊprovides the ultimate record ofÊthe legacy endowed by PowerWriters. ~ C.Carey Deeley, Esquire
