If the second dual of a Banach space E is smooth at each point of a certain norm dense subset, then its first dual admits a long sequence of norm one projections, and these projections have ranges which are suitable for a transfinite induction argument. This leads to the construction of an equivalent locally uniformly rotund norm and a Markuschevich basis for E*.
