“…The equivalence 1° '^ 3° can be also proved by using characterizations of (F) in terms of "strongly smooth" p o i n t s , and of (S), due to Smulian [7S], [77] (see also [ 7 / ] ) ; in the p a r t i c u l a r case of reflexive spaces, essentially t h i s l a t t e r equivalence has been obtained, with a different method, in [ 5 ] . In [74], Proof of Theorem 3, i t has been shown, with the argument of the above proof of the implication 3° ' " I 0 , that (S) A (KK^) °* (F). In [?6] we have proved some results on the open problem whether the second conjugate E** of a non-reflexive Banach space E is non-smooth, showing that for a large class of spaces t h i s is indeed the case.…”
