The penultimate version of this paper was read at the Pacific APA meeting, April, 1972. I want to thank the meeting's chairman, J.M.E. Moravcsik, and my commentator, Richard Grandy, for their comments. I have not addressed myself to all the points raised by Grandy, but only to a few of the more important ones. Various still earlier versions of this paper were read by David Lewis, Barbara Hall Partee, and John Perry. The paper is considerably better as a result.
