Johnson %J Mathematics %D 1999 %I arXiv %X A separable Banach space X contains $\ell_1$ isomorphically if and only if X has a bounded wc_0^*-stable biorthogonal system. The dual of a separable Banach space X fails the Schur property if and only if X has a bounded wc_0^*-biorthogonal system. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9911156v1
