It is shown for 1 ≤ p≠2 < ∞
that for each ℒp,λ subspace X of Lp[0,1] with λ sufficiently close to 1 there is a
nonlinear projection from Lp onto X which factors through a linear projection on
L1[0,1] with norm close to 1. Some additional results on representation of certain
operators on L1 are also proved.
