fa.functional analysis - Basis for L_infty(R)

The space $ell^infty_R$ does not have even an M-basis; i.e., a biorthogonal set $(x_t,x_t^*)$ such that the span of the $x_t$ is dense and the $x_t^*$ are total (Lindenstrauss, late 1960s IIRC), so it has nothing like a Schauder basis. Later I proved [PAMS 26. no. 3 467-468 (1970)] that $ell^infty$ also does not have an M-basis. However, each of these spaces does have a biorthogonal set $(x_t,x_t^*)$ such that the span of the $x_t$ is dense. This is in my paper with W.J. Davis [Studia Math. 45 173-179 (1973)].
