Abstract

To begin with, an apology for my subtitle, which consciously but unforgivably alludes to Hollywood's current fondness for numbered sequels to successful films. My intention was to signal that this paper, like a film such as Halloween II, will make further use of old materials, partly to bring the story up to date, partly to re-work material of proven box-office value, partly to answer those critics who, perhaps, deserve an answer.
