Acknowledgment:
I am deeply appreciative of the help I received in preparing this article. Zorana Ivcevic and Marc A. Brackett read early versions of the manuscript and offered important comments that changed the article for the better. Mike Faber, Xiaoyan Xu, and my father, Arthur C. Mayer, read and/or commented on later drafts, which led to still further refinements. Sherry Palmer, of the University of New Hampshire Photographic Services, drew the computer-generated Figures 1 and 2 and contributed key ideas that led to their clarity and elegance. The last drafts of the manuscript were greatly improved by comments from David R. Caruso. The views expressed are those of the author.
