About "The Continuum Hypothesis is an Open Problem"
The text "The Continuum Hypothesis is an Open Problem" is much too long for its contents. It suffices to tell the reader:
"Compare the following books:
(1) P. Cohen, Set theory and the Continuum Hypothesis.
(2) S.C. Kleene, Introduction to Metamathematics.
(3) N. Bourbaki, Theory of Sets. (French original: Théorie des ensembles.)"
