Abstract

A version of this paper was read at the Western Division meetings of the APA in April 1990. I am indebted for the comments of my commentator on that occasion, Stephen Hetherington. I am also indebted to Ruth Marcus for helpful correspondence, and to Steven Luper-Foy for comments. Work on the paper was supported by an academic leave from Trinity University.
