Extract

There are many constructions of the Suzuki groups in the literature (see for example Suzuki's original paper [3], as well as [1, 2, 4]), and one needs to make a strong case to justify publishing another. Yet I believe the construction below is sufficiently new and sufficiently elementary that in time it will come to be regarded as the standard construction.
