Abstract
The newly discovered high T(c) oxide metals have a low enough electron density that the charge transfer excitations between the nearest neig hbor cations and anions are unscreened. Excitonic resonances with larg e oscillator strengths are then possible. It is suggested that the hig h T(c) is due to scattering of electrons from such resonances rather t han from phonons.
