This is the text of a lecture at the University of Rome, on May 8, 1986. The original notes disappeared when my luggage was stolen in Toronto (!); however, I had given a copy to my friend Paolo Maroscia, who did not have his luggage stolen in Rome (!) and was very kind to let me consult his copy. It is good to have friends.
