I managed to get a scan of the original Krein–Milman paper from the net, and consequently changed the reference back to the correct title. Yes, that paper does indeed say “regular convex”, while the MR entry on Milman's 1947 paper says “regularly convex”. Just one of life's oddities.

I thought Milman's converse and Choquet's theorem belonged here, so I put them in. An accessible reference for the former would be nice.

Personally, I'd be tempted to skip the biographical factlets on David Milman, as he does in fact have his own wikipedia page. But since I am new to this, I'll not stick my neck that far out (yet).

I agree that the bio of Milman is out of place here. I removed it Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
