Well folks, what I posted recently may have been a little premature. I have
since found a few more references that I have access to. One thing I want to
point out about all of these references, I have listed ONLY the ones that I
actually have access to. I know there are other articles and sources, probably
quite good ones, too. I have omitted them because I do not have them at my
disposal to read for this paper -- if you can send me some good references or
photocopies thereof (alternatively, electronic versions thereof), I would be
very appreciative, BUT I will not list ANY references in my bibliography that
I do not have direct access to. Anyway, without further ado, here is the
updated list:
