Abstract
Due to space limitations, we will be quite terse. Embellishments of the theme presented here can be found in (McMorris and Neumann 1982) and (Neumann 1982). We will not give any propaganda as to why the study of consensus is important, assuming most participants of this conference are aware that the topic has recently been drawing considerable attention.
