Abstract
In 1963 A. W. Hales and R. I. Jewett proved a very general result from which most of Ramsey-like theorems may be easily derived. Hales-Jewett theorem is presently one of the most useful techniques in Ramsey theory. Without this result, Ramsey theory would more properly be called Ramseyan theorems.
