Abstract
This paper is truly a joint effort and it could not have been written without the contribution of both authors. Garson, though, deserves credit (or blame) for first seeing the need for two kinds of quantifier scope, and also for devising essentials of the positive theory.

We would like to thank Nuel Belnap, Irene Heim, Robert May, Barbara Partee, Esa Saarinen, Bas van Fraassen and the anonymous referees of previous drafts for helpful criticisms and comments which greatly improved this paper. In retrospect, it frightens us to think that any one of the drafts of this paper might have found its way into print. We honestly believe, although we do not hold the editor responsible for any remaining mistakes or confusions, that our paper has improved dramatically because of his persistence in demanding that we rewrite.
