As papers prepared for various occasions accumulate, I gather them into collections and send them on their way. Some of the papers emerge from ambitious books on the subject; in these I write for a much wider audience of readers than are likely to come to those books. Others make their appearance in journals that reach a limited audience and that are not always accessible to those who follow my work. Still others have not been printed at all."
