Footnotes

†

In rewriting this paper, I have tried to profit from comments from several sources. These include letters from Adolf Grünbaum, which contain his comments and some remarks he attributes to Gerald Massey, letters from Nicholas Rescher, discussion with a group of philosophers of science from the Chicago area in which Arthur Fine played a leading role, and the written report of an anonymous referee for Philosophy of Science. Even though I cannot respond to all their comments for lack of space, I am indebted to these people for the help they have given me in thinking about these issues and related matters.
