vi the information collected and discussed in this volume may help
toward the achievement of such an objective. I should like to express my
debt of gratitude to the authors who have contributed to this volume.
Editing a work of this nature can strain long- established personal
relationships and I thank my various colleagues for bearing with me and
responding (sooner or later) to one or several letters or telephone
calls. My special thanks once again go to Mrs. Joyce Johnson, who bore
the main brunt of this seemingly endless correspondence and without
whose help the editorial and referencing work would have taken several
years. F. FRANKS Biophysics Division Unilever Research Laboratory
