We display the relevance of Martin's Axiom to suitable forms of some long-known results in classical measure and category theory (for example, outer-measure-preserving partitions of sets of positive outer measure). While our theorems are at best fragmentarily new, the proofs are very simple, and, we think, instructive as regards the force of the axiom.
