Abstract
In "Quantum Theory without Observers—Part One" (PHYSICS TODAY, March 1998, page 42), Sheldon Goldstein discusses our work on the decoherent histories (DH) approach to quantum mechanics and the related work of Robert Griffiths and Roland Omnes. He describes correctly many aspects of the research and makes a number of favorable remarks, such as "it seems likely that the program of DH can be brought successfully to completion." However he seems to have misunderstood one important point, and as a result he mistakenly attributes certain "inconsistencies" to the program at its present stage.
