Footnotes

A version of this paper entitled “Bickling Over Token Models” was presented at the University of Mississippi Symposium on Psychoneural Reduction, 27 Feb., 1999. I thank coordinators Michael Lynch and Kenneth Sufka, as well as John Bickle, David Henderson, Terence Horgan, William Lawhead, John Post, John Tienson, and Robert Westmoreland for many fine discussions. I also thank Kenneth Schaffner for a kind note about his 1977 paper.
