Notes

This is the HTML version of my senior thesis at Harvard. It didn't take very long to convert into HTML, since I wrote my thesis on MS Word 7.0, and the MS Internet Assistant v2.0z did a good job of converting it into HTML automatically. The only major glitch was that IA didn't convert the footnotes, so they are currently missing from this version. Perhaps I'll type them in manually some day, but don't hold your breath waiting for them to appear. Also, be aware that there will probably be a number of formatting errors that I just haven't caught and corrected yet. Finally, some of the color photo figures are missing, because I haven't yet had the time to scan them in.

If you notice any errors, find this interesting, have any questions, or just want to say hi, please take a moment to drop me a line. Enjoy!
