A uniformly convex Banach space which contains no cp

There is a uniformly convex Banach space with unconditional basis which contains no subspace isomorphic to any lp (1 p ~). The space may be chosen either to have a symmetric basis, or so that it contains no subsymmetric basic sequence. It is proved that a super-reflexive space with local unconditional structure can be equivalently normed so that its modulus of convexity is of power type.
