ABSTRACT

Such an analysis is hard enough to support in a historical monograph written for scholars, where evidence can be marshaled and exceptions noted. It is much more difficult in a popular exposition where words are at a premium, footnotes non-existent, and an attem pt is made to have objects carry the bulk o f the message. N or did the team approach help very much. Nevertheless, it is our opinion that we succeeded more than we failed. We suggest that the four examples cited here are particularly good illustrations of what we had in mind.
