I am most grateful for the assistance and companionship of the whole Nobel 'gang,' notably Geir, Odd Arne, Arne, Sigrid, Torill, Anne, Elizabeth, Inger Guri and Torsten. My own institution, Rutgers University, also played a crucial role in my endeavor under the auspices of the Faculty Academic Study Program as it granted me a year's leave as well as critical financial backing.
