Abstract
The tetrad formalism is used to study a broad class of spherically sym metric kink space-times whose Einstein tensor is computed and then dia gonalized. A simple example of such a space-time is shown to satisfy t he weak energy condition and to be extendible to a space-time that is geodesically complete. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
