We wish to acknowledge the significant improvements made lD this chapter from the reviews of D. Moore and G. Dresen. Fred Chester did the experiments and contributed the photos in Figure 16. Many colleagues too numerous to mention have contributed ideas over the years. If ideas that originated with them are not acknowledged, it is merely because our memories get dim; our apologies. Not the least we want to recognize the stimulation, insights and friendships that we have enjoyed with Bill Brace over the years. It has made a difference in the quality of both our science and personal life.
