49. I thank the Supernova Intensive Study (SINS) collaboration (R. Kirshner, principle investigator) for their help with the HST data, P. Challis of that collaboration for figure preparation, and A. Filippenko for use of the Keck spectrum. C. Fransson and R. McCray made useful comments on the manuscript. My research on supernovae is supported in part by NSF grant AST-9314724. The SINS collaboration is supported by NASA through grant GO-2563.01-87A from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy under NASA contract NAS 5-26555.
