Abstract

We gratefully acknowledge and thank the many people who have helped put this chapter together, especially the following: Patricia Jackson, Dan Paretsky, Lela Riley, and Verna Woods, who carried out most of the original experiments described; Dr Ken Conrow, who made the computer analysis of our data work; Drs Vivian MacKay, Wolfgang Duntze, and Mike Fox, who read the manuscript and made many suggestions that helped us say what we mean; Gloria Manney, who put our commas in the proper places; and many others, mentioned in the text, who shared their unpublished data with us.
