11 This and the next paragraph were stimulated by the astute questioning of several people when I read a draft of my essay to the University of Chicago Philosophy Colloquium in November 1978. I am particularly indebted to Professor Donald Davidson for his commentary; but he is not responsible for the use to which I have put his event theory in these paragraphs.
