About the Author
Disambiguation Notice:
The Internet Movie Database, Wikipedia, and others have the spelling of his name as "Khigh Alx Dheigh" LibrayThing has (1) Khigh Dheigh, (2) Khigh Dhiegh and (3) Khigh Alx Dheigh TV Guide Magazine http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/khigh-dhiegh/209106 has the 'ie' spelling. Unfortunately I can't look at the one and only book I have because it's in Hawaii and I am in Nevada. The fact remains that once the correct spelling is figured out all three are one and the same man and should be combined.
