Abstract

It is a pleasure to dedicate this Festschrift article to Keith Glover on the occasion of his 60-th birthday.

I, at that time a young assistant professor at MIT, had the good fortune to become Keith’s M.Sc. and Ph.D. supervisor, who he could choose freely because his scholarship made him, so to speak, ‘self-supporting’.
