The Alaska Permanent Fund and its Dividend were created by Gov. Jay Hammond (1974-1982) and his allies. This is an excerpt from his new book, &ldquo;Diapering the Devil,&rdquo; recently published by Kachemak Resource Institute. Hammond  was writing when he died in 2005. (The title refers to a saying,&ldquo;petroleum is the devil&rsquo;s excrement,&rdquo; as it can lead to government corruption and national impoverishment.)
