    a generous scattering of personal speculation that is often based on fairly skimpy experimental evidence (or wishful thinking). A number of people have been very patient and helpful to me during the time that it has taken to complete this effort. I wish particularly to thank Naomi Datta, Stanley Cohen, and John Lagnado for reading the entire manuscript and for their constructive comments. I particularly appreciated their gentle way of saying that something was missing, badly written or just plain wrong. Of course, any errors remaining are my own. I am also deeply grateful to my students and associates at Georgetown University and the University of Washington for their help. Patricia Guerry, Donald J. LeBlanc, Mary Vickers Hershfield and Lucy Stuart Tompkins were very helpful in their comments and suggestions about an interminable number of rough drafts. I share the joy of my secretary, Caryl-Sue Johnson, that this effort is finally completed, and I pay homage to Judith Anne Smith for typing the final draft of the manuscript. My thanks go to John Ashby of Pion Ltd. for his tolerance of an author who failed to meet even a single deadline. Many of the previously unpublished experiments presented in this volume were performed under grants from the National Science Foundation, the Commission of Enteric Disease of the Armed Forces Epidemiology Board, and the National Institutes of Health. I wish to thank these bodies for their support. Finally, I thank my wife Rhoda for her understanding of a husband who cluttered her house with papers, books, journals, reprints, preprints and unkept promises.
