Additional information

This paper is based on the first half of my Ph.D. dissertation [19] submitted to the University of Michigan. I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Prof. Arthur Burks with whom I have studied probability theory an modal logic; I should also like to thank him for several important comments on the original version of this paper.
