Extract

In (1) Dvoretsky proved, using very ingenious methods, that every centrally symmetric convex body of sufficiently high dimension contains a central k-dimensional section which is almost spherical. Here we shall extend this result (Corollary to Theorem 2) to k-dimensional sections through an arbitrary interior point of any convex body.
