∗ I wish to thank Frederick Barghoorn, David Benson, Reverend Peter Činikas, William Fletcher, Edige Kirimal, Gerald Mikkelson, David Nissman, Glenn Richter, Louis Rosenblum, Marite Sapiets, Edmund Singleton, Rein Taagepera, and V. Stanley Vardys for their contribution, remote and recent, to this study. I wish to single out Roman Kuchar and Tom Nault, whose generosity far exceeded any of my appeals. Of special assistance as well were Peter Dornan and Dimitry Pospielovsky. Roy D. Laird deserves special thanks for his helpful suggestions.
