Additional information
Portions of this work were carried out with the support of a National Science Foundation post-doctoral fellowship and a University of Illinois summer faculty fellowship. Many thanks to David Lewis for supplying the argument of Section 1.3. The argument is entirely his, though the presentation and possible defects in detail of formulation are mine. Arthur Fine is responsible for much clarification of the proof in Section 1.4. I am also indebted throughout to Richard Jeffrey for many of the ideas developed here.
