  • Abstract
    The author suggests that some of the results in the paper by T.F. Hassett et al. (see ibid., vol.44, p.155-60, 1995) can be more easily obtained using alternative probability arguments. Such arguments avoid considerable algebraic manipulation, provide some additional insight, and can be extended readily to deal with larger systems.
