Additional information

Editor's Note: In this article, Denney raises concerns about the results reported in an earlier article by Reinke, Holmes, and Denney (1981). It should be noted that in the following article Reinke and Holmes respond to the concerns raised by Denney. The comments made in both articles should be considered before drawing conclusions.

The author thanks Douglas Easterling and Andrew Tomarken for their help with many of the data analyses and for their very valuable comments on an earlier draft of this manuscript. Their contributions were greatly appreciated.
