Abstract
The main result of the paper is the following theorem. Let G be a locally f inite group containing a finite p-subgroup A such that CG(A) is finite and a non-cyclic subgroup B of order p(2) such that C-G(b) has finite exponent for all b is an element of B-#. Then G is almost locally solvable and has f inite exponent. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
