Abstract

My thinking has been stimulated and challenged, to the benefit of this paper, by Sandy Cate, Kate Campbell, Welcome, Ruth Charloff, Stephen Foster, Molly Lee, Tim Vollmer, Catherine Rouslin, and Laura Green. Two anonymous reviewers for also helped bring my thinking, originally put to paper in 1990, up-to-date. Their comments guided some much-needed revisions, although I have not specifically addressed all of their questions. I also took off in some directions they probably did not anticipate. Thanks also to Lypsinka, who first stimulated me to explore these ideas, and the San Francisco Sentinel newspaper, which allowed me to publish them. My writing has been immeasurably improved by the wicked attentions of Peter Nabakov's pen. 1994, 6: 343-363 01994 by The University of Chicago.
