Abstract: We construct a subspace of ${L^1}$ such that is an ${l^1}$ -sum of spaces isomorphic to ${l^1}$ but such that ${L^1}/X$ does not contain a copy of ${L^1}$ . We also construct two Banach spaces ${E_1}$ , ${E_2}$ that do not contain a copy of ${L^1}$ but such that ${E_1} \times {E_2}$ contains a copy of ${L^1}$ . Moreover, the projections of ${L^1}$ on each factor are one-to-one, and the images of the unit ball of ${L^1}$ are closed. These examples settle questions of J. Lindenstrauss, P. Pelczynski, J. Bourgain, and H. P. Rosenthal.
