Abstract
A relatively easy proof is given for the known theorem that a Banach space is reflexive if and only if each continuous linear functional attains its sup on the unit ball. This proof simplifies considerably for separable spaces and can be extended to give a proof that a boundedw-closed subsetX of a complete locally convex linear topological space isw-compact if and only if each continuous linear functional attains its sup onX.
